@Aurelius_Nero ,

Re: your comment, “I am having trouble converting a number to a string”, see the “parse” method in this comment in the following thread:

Speed of atoi and atof vs. internal read

Below is a simple enough Julia script in Fortran style that does about the same as the Fortran code in the original post - note the timing measurement is restricted to parsing: using Parsers const N = 10_000_000 n = rand(-500_000:499_999, N) str = string.(n, base=10) @time n_parsed = Parsers.parse.(Int, str) @assert n_parsed == n println(minimum(n,dims=1)) println(maximum(n,dims=1)) On a given workstation the response by Julia is as follows: C:\temp>Julia parse.jl 0.190575 seconds (160.…

For reference, you can also check the work by @lkedward to update the Fortran code at the Julia microbenchmark site mentioned in the above thread.
