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] ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
