Symbolic math calculations with Fortran 95

[Nomar_1985]

Hi all
I am struggling to work symbolic math calculations with Fotran 95 in the Silverfrost ftn 95 plataform.

Say you want to calculate c=a+b but without initializing "a" or "b" to get a value "c", but rather print out or obtain the actual generic expresion "a+b"

I have tried to solve that using different data types (REAL, CHARACTER etc) but no way to handle the error exception for me.

Could somebody please give any light on this? I am new to Fotran and have not been able to find any solution on this.

Thanks in advance

Why do you try to use FORTRAN? Of all languages I ever used I would never select it for doing such things.

Hi Borek, you are right, I had the same tought.
Better to do it with Mapple,
I just wanted to know if there was a relatively "simple" way to make it out
Thanks
