In Fortran, an array is a collection of elements of the same type, arranged in a specific order.
Arrays allow you to store and manipulate multiple values using a single variable name.
The elements in an array are accessed by their indices, which start from 1.
Example
In this program, we declare an array called numbers of size 5, which can store integer values.
We then assign values to each element of the array using the index notation numbers(index) = value.
program array_example
implicit none
! Declare an array of integers
integer :: numbers(5)
integer :: i
! Assign values to the array elements
numbers(1) = 10
numbers(2) = 20
numbers(3) = 30
numbers(4) = 40
numbers(5) = 50
! Print the array elements
do i = 1, 5
print *, numbers(i)
end do
end program array_example
