Machine Problem in Fortran 90




I have the code.
Code:
program star
implicit none
real (kind=8) :: x
integer :: i

dt=0.001
pi=4*(atan1.0)

do i=1, Nsteps
     t = n*dt
     !calculate acceleration
     ax= 
     ay=...
     !calculate values at next step
     vy=vy+ay*dt
     vx=vx+ax*dt
     x=x+vx*dt
     y=y+vy*dt
end do

print *, "vx= ", vx
     



end program star
What should I put as Ax and Ay??

like the question says, use a = -r/r^3 in component form... you'll need to start the program with some initial x and y value.

I don't know fortran very well, but it looks like you haven't defined Nsteps or n. Also the syntax for defining pi looks dodgy.

atan is an intrinsic function.

atan(1.0) is proper syntax
