    Errors Fortran
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around troubleshooting a Fortran 95 program designed to calculate the sine of an angle using an infinite series. The user initially encounters compilation errors due to missing multiplication operators in expressions involving factorial calculations. Specifically, the expressions for calculating factorial and the series terms were incorrectly written, leading to syntax errors. After resolving these issues by adding the necessary multiplication operators, the user successfully compiles the program but faces challenges with correctly implementing the factorial calculation within the loop. The conversation suggests that for further coding assistance, the user should consider posting in the homework help section or the Engineering branch of the forum.

Hello all, I'm kinda stuck with this fortran 95 program I have to write. It is an Infinite Series of SIN.

IMPLICIT NONE
!
! Data Dictionary
REAL :: x ! Measurement of angle in degrees
REAL :: result ! facilitates addition of the functions
REAL :: f_x ! function defining the series
REAL :: rad_x ! Radians equivalent of x
REAL :: int_value ! Intrinsic function value of sin
REAL, PARAMETER :: PI = 3.141593 ! universal ratio of circle's diameter
INTEGER :: n ! Counter
INTEGER :: fac ! factorial calculation

! User Input of X
WRITE (*,*) 'Input degrees'
READ (*,*) x
!
! Convert to Radians
rad_x = x *(PI/180)
!
! Defining Base values for addition of LOOPs
result = 0.0
fac = 0
!
! Start of DO LOOP
DO n = 1, 10
fac = (2n - 1) *n
f_x = (-1.0**(n-1))*((rad_x**(2n-1))/(fac))
result = f_x + result
END DO
!
! Calcualte INtrinsic value of SIN
int_value = SIN(rad_x)
!
! Display information
WRITE (*,*) 'Intrinsic SIN function value', int_value
WRITE (*,*) 'Calculated value of SIN', result
!
! Finish Up
END PROGRAM infinite_series

And I receive the following errors from the compiler

In file infinite.f95:35

fac = (2n - 1) *n
1
Error: Expected a right parenthesis in expression at (1)
In file infinite.f95:36

f_x = (-1.0**(n-1))*((rad_x**(2n-1))/(fac))
1
Error: Expected a right parenthesis in expression at (1)

The "1" is actually under the 2 in (2n-1) but it won't stay put in the post.

I'm trying to compile to see if the program even works but I need to get past this first. Thank you for any help

After about a couple hours of racking my brain I discovered I was missing the multiply operator between the 2 and n. fail

Now the program compiles but I'm having issues with getting the factorial part of the work properly. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to multiply properly within the DO loop. If I separate the two, I can get the factorial to work, but I will not get the equation to work. argh!

Took me a minute too...

2n needs to be 2*n
 
Indeed. Quick question, now if I need help coding, do I make a new post in the homework help section or something or another? I can't get the factorials right.
 
I think either place would be fine: here or in the Engineering branch of the homework help forum. Start a new thread, though.
 
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
Thread 'Star maps using Blender'
Blender just recently dropped a new version, 4.5(with 5.0 on the horizon), and within it was a new feature for which I immediately thought of a use for. The new feature was a .csv importer for Geometry nodes. Geometry nodes are a method of modelling that uses a node tree to create 3D models which offers more flexibility than straight modeling does. The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...
