Fortran Fortran 95 Reading in Multi-Dimensional Arrays

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around reading a formatted data file containing weather information, specifically year, month, day, hour, temperature, and dew point. The initial request was to process this data into arrays to calculate daily high, low, and average temperatures and dew points, along with the times they occur. The user initially struggled with the implementation but eventually shared a Fortran program that successfully reads the data into a two-dimensional array. The program uses formatted reading to populate the array and demonstrates how to handle the data. There was also a mention of using implied do loops in Fortran for efficient data reading. However, the user expressed difficulty in extracting daily high and low temperature values, prompting a request for further assistance on that specific aspect.

Hi. I have a file like this:

Where the columns are year, month, day, hour, temperature, and dew point, respectively. I need to read each column in as an array so I can find the high, low, and average temperature and dewpoint of each day, and the times at which they occur. Please help me.
 
Technology news on Phys.org
Nevermind, I figured it out:

Code: 
PROGRAM FileArray
implicit none

integer :: i, j, lines
integer, dimension(6,75) :: a

!a(1,*) = year
!a(2,*) = month
!a(3,*) = day
!a(4,*) = hour
!a(5,*) = temp
!a(6,*) = dew point

100 FORMAT(I4, 5X, I2, 7X, I2, 7X, I4, 5X, I2, 7X, I2)

open(55,file='testfile.txt',status='OLD')

read(55,100) ((a(i,j),i=1,6),j=1,75)

write(*,100) a

close(55)

END PROGRAM FileArray
 
Note that the following also works. (Fortran can work out its own implied do loops.)

read(55,*) a

Where the columns are year, month, day, hour, temperature, and dew point, respectively. I need to read each column in as an array so I can find the high, low, and average temperature and dewpoint of each day, and the times at which they occur.

From the code you supplied, you apparently want to read each row in the file. In an array, the rows go across, and the columns go up and down.
 
I thought I had it, but apparently I cannot figure out how to obtain the high and low temperature values for each day. Anyone have any suggestions?
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
