The F Programming Language (Oxford Science Publications) - Softcover

The F programming language is a dramatic new development in scientific programming. Building on the well established strengths of the Fortran family of languages, it retains the powerful numerical and data abstraction capabilities of its parent language, Fortran 90. This book is the defining document for the language, setting out the complete syntax and semantics of F in a readable but thorough way. It begins with an introductory chapter, then describes the features of F: language elements, expressions and assignments, control constructs, program units and procedures, array features, intrinsic procedures and input/output facilities. It is essential reading for all F practitioners.
