Fortran What Does 10.e6 Mean in FORTRAN?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The expression "10.e6" in FORTRAN represents the scientific notation for the number 10 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 6, which equals 10,000,000. This notation is a standard way to express large numbers in FORTRAN, where "e" denotes exponentiation. When converting FORTRAN code to modern languages like C# or Java, understanding such numerical representations is crucial for accurate translation. The latest standard for FORTRAN is F2008, which includes enhancements for modern programming practices.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of FORTRAN syntax and scientific notation
  • Familiarity with C# programming language
  • Knowledge of numerical data types in programming
  • Basic concepts of code conversion between programming languages
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "FORTRAN to C# code conversion techniques"
  • Learn about "FORTRAN F2008 features and enhancements"
  • Explore "C# numeric data types and their representations"
  • Study "scientific notation in programming languages"
USEFUL FOR

Programmers transitioning from FORTRAN to modern languages, software developers working with numerical computations, and anyone involved in code migration projects.

Hello,
I've a program in FORTRAN which I need to convert to C#,
there's an assignment statement like this:
Code: 
FC=10.e6

What exactly does it mean? Is it 10*10^6? or 10.000000?
Do you have some tips to convert the FORTRAN program to any
modern language (C#, JAVA, C/C++) ?

Thank You

Fortran is a modern language. Latest definition is F2008.
 

Thread 'Use of AI (ML/DL) in Science'

We have many threads on AI, which are mostly AI/LLM, e.g,. ChatGPT, Claude, etc. It is important to draw a distinction between AI/LLM and AI/ML/DL, where ML - Machine Learning and DL = Deep Learning. AI is a broad technology; the AI/ML/DL is being developed to handle large data sets, and even seemingly disparate datasets to rapidly evaluated the data and determine the quantitative relationships in order to understand what those relationships (about the variaboles) mean.
