FORTRAN 90+: READ AND WRITE EXAMPLE

It is recommended to look at the numerical methods codes where the use of READ AND WRITE is demonstrated. An additional example is included here.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!  Uses bisection method to find square root
!
!   x*x - c  = 0
!   over the interval [a,b]
!

  INTEGER :: nmax, n
  REAL :: tol, d
  REAL :: a, b, c
  REAL :: fa, fc

  READ(*,*) d

  tol = 0.000001
  nmax = 100

  fa = f(a,d)

  DO WHILE (n <= nmax)
     IF((b-a)/2.0 < tol) THEN
       WRITE(*,*) ’Root’,c,’gives’,fc,’after’,n,’iterations’
