thank you so much this is my initial phase of learning the fortran and this help from you really helped me a lot

by the way can you please explain this this in simple words write (*, ‘(a)’, advance=‘no’)

write is the statement for output, the * selects standard output (terminal/console), '(a)' is the format descriptor for a single string, advance='no' omits the new line at the end of the output.

thank you so much

does advance=no also works with print statement ???

8

No. Use write(*) instead, which does the same thing.

but it is restricted to only particular bits rights what about if input is dynamic

Sorry, I don’t understand “restricted to only bits rights”. There is really no difference between:

PRINT *, "Hello"
and
WRITE (*,*) "Hello"

They both write to “standard output” and are often considered the same unit number. PRINT is an artifact of the past when there was also a PUNCH statement. It’s just a few characters fewer to write, but omits the I/O control list that lets you do things such as ADVANCE.

let me say you in a code manner

suppose

write (*, ‘(i2, i1)’ ,advance=“no”) n1, n3
consider the above line if the n1 value is 2 digits, n3 value is 1 digit its geting displayed
but where as n1 value if it exceeds the 2 digits like 3 digits its displaying as ***

like how can i achieve it properly

write (*, ‘(i0, 1X, i0)’ ,advance=“no”) n1, n3

no its moving the input to the next line

Please show a complete example that demonstrates the problem. What I wrote will not move the cursor to the next line. For example:

D:\Projects>type t.f90
implicit none
integer :: n1, n2, n3
n1 = 23; n3 = 456

write (*, '(i0, 1X, i0, A)' ,advance="no") n1, n3, " Input: "
read (*,*) n2
write (*,*) n2
end

D:\Projects>ifort /nologo t.f90

D:\Projects>t.exe
23 456 Input: 789
         789
