AI Thread Summary
Learning to use modules in FORTRAN can be straightforward, but it requires understanding how to structure your code properly. To use a global module, such as global.f95, in other .f95 files, you need to include a USE statement in each subroutine or function that needs access to the module. This process is essential for ensuring that the necessary definitions and procedures from the global module are available where needed. While it may seem complex initially, following this method simplifies the integration of modules across multiple files.

So I'm starting to learn FORTRAN, and I'm starting to do makefile's and modules.

Now the book I have that I've been learning from tells me all about Modules that I can put at the beginning of a file for use throughout the rest of that file, but seems to be glazing over how I can have a global.f95 module that I can call from other .f95 files. I assume this is more simple to do than the amount of time I've been trying to get it to work would indicate, is this a correct assumption? Or is it a difficult process?

You must include a USE statement for the module
in each subroutine or function that requires use of the module.
 
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...
What percentage of programmers have learned to touch type? Have you? Do you think it's important, not just for programming, but for more-than-casual computer users generally? ChatGPT didn't have much on it ("Research indicates that less than 20% of people can touch type fluently, with many relying on the hunt-and-peck method for typing ."). 'Hunt-and-peck method' made me smile. It added, "For programmers, touch typing is a valuable skill that can enhance speed, accuracy, and focus. While...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
