Where Can I Find Affordable Fortran Compilers for Scientific Computing?

[Ingenium5]

Hello all,

I need to learn to code in fortran 77 preferably or fortran 99 if 77 isn't available easily for a scientific computing course this fall. Does anyone know where I can obtain one of these compliers for somewhere between free and a few hundred dollars?

If you are working on Linux, the answer is pretty trivial; in fact, you probably would not have even asked it...

...so, I presume you are working on Windows.

There are choices...for you and since it sounds that you are willing to pay money, I would suggest Simply Fortran ...it cost a few bucks but saves you the trouble of having to collect and install a few things by yourself.

There's is no "fortran 99", but there is Fortran 77, 90, 95.

Fortran 77 has a lot of punch card charm, that's somewhat funny, but anachronistic.

Fortran 95 is a good choice, e.g. because its FORALL statement is very interesting for HPC (High Performance Computing) and being motivated to code PURE from the very beginning is beneficial.

Assuming you're a student working on a Windows platform:

If ~$129 is ok for you, take intel.
