Fortran - Decisions
Decision making structures require that the programmer specify one or more conditions to be evaluated or tested by the program, along with a statement or statements to be executed, if the condition is determined to be true, and optionally, other statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be false.
Following is the general form of a typical decision making structure found in most of the programming languages −
Fortran provides the following types of decision making constructs.
| Sr.No | Statement & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
An if… then… end if statement consists of a logical expression followed by one or more statements. |
| 2 |
An if… then statement can be followed by an optional else statement, which executes when the logical expression is false. |
| 3 |
An if statement construct can have one or more optional else-if constructs. When the if condition fails, the immediately followed else-if is executed. When the else-if also fails, its successor else-if statement (if any) is executed, and so on. |
| 4 |
You can use one if or else if statement inside another if or else if statement(s). |
| 5 |
A select case statement allows a variable to be tested for equapty against a pst of values. |
| 6 |
You can use one select case statement inside another select case statement(s). |
