Question No. 2:

A programmer working with FORTRAN 77 struggles with writing modular code and
using dynamic memory. Why would FORTRAN 90 be a better choice for this
programmer? Mention at least three specific features along with one reason for
each.

Answer:-

Feature in FORTRAN 90 Reason

Modular Programming It helps keep related parts of code together, making the
Program neat and easy to reuse.

Dynamic Memory Allocation It lets the program use memory as needed while
running,
Which makes the code more flexible.
Array Operations and DO Simplifies mathematical and scientific
FORALL calculations with
Whole-array operations, reducing errors.
