Built-in
Compile by Ctrl+Shift+b and run by Ctrl+F5
Case in-sensitive (K = k)
All variables must be defined:
integer :: n
real(8) :: length
real(8) :: d, f(17), k(13,13)
real(8), dimension(17) :: f
character(len = 6) :: word
logical :: banded
real(8), dimension(:,:), allocatable :: k
..
.

NA
We did not use it
[areas] = bisect(areas,amin, ...);

allocate (k(neqn, neqn))

May contain "private" and "public" subroutines
see under "FEM specific remarks"
call bisect(areas, amin, ...)

end do

i = 1500
d = 1500
d = 1500
banded = 0 (or 1)
word = blabla
i=1, j=3 => i/j = 0.3333

i = 1500 (integer)
d = 1.5e3 (or 1500.0) (real(4))
d = 1.5d3 (or 1500.0d0) (real(8))
banded = .false. [or .true.] (logical)
word = blabla (character)
i=1, j=3 => i/j = 0 (NB! Integer part of result!)
