Chapter 4. Array Concepts

Fortran 90 and Fortran 95 provide a set of features, commonly referred to as array language, that let programmers manipulate arrays. This chapter provides background information on arrays and array language:

• Arrays
• Array Declarators
• Explicit-Shape Arrays
• Assumed-Shape Arrays
• Deferred-Shape Arrays
• Assumed-Size Arrays
• Array Elements
• Array Sections
• Array Constructors
• Expressions Involving Arrays

Related Information:

• Many statements in Chapter 10, "Statements", have special features and rules for arrays.
• This chapter makes frequent use of the DIMENSION statement. SeeDIMENSION.
• A number of new intrinsic functions are especially for arrays. These functions are mainly those classified as Transformational Intrinsic Functions.
