2.2 Assignment
Whenwestartprogramming,thesimilaritybetweenmathematicalequationsandFORTRAN
statementscanbeconfusing.
ConsiderthefollowingFORTRANstatements:
x = 2
Storethevalue2inmemorylocationx
y = 3
Storethevalue3inmemorylocationy
z = x + y
Addthevaluesstoredinmemorylocation
xandyandstoretheresultinmemorylocationz
Inmathematics,x=2meansthatthevariablexisequalto2.InFORTRANitmeansstorethevalue
2inthememorylocationthatwehavegiventhenamex.
Thesignificanceofthisismadeclearerbythefollowingequationinmathematics:
x+y=z
Inmathematics,thismeansthatthelefthandsideoftheequationisequaltotherighthandside.
InFORTRAN,thisexpressionismeaningless:thereisnomemorylocation"x+y"andsoitwouldleadto
