Summary

This overview of Fortran 90 (F90) features is presented as a series of tables that illustrate the syntax and abilities of F90. Frequently, comparisons are made with similar features in the C++ and F77 languages and the Matlab environment.

These tables show that F90 has significant improvements over F77 and matches or exceeds newer software capabilities found in C++ and Matlab for dynamic memory management, user-defined data structures, matrix operations, operator definition and overloading, intrinsics for vector and parallel processors and the basic requirements for object-oriented programming.

They are intended to serve as a condensed quick-reference guide for programming in F90 and for understanding programs developed by others.
