CECS 342 Assignment 5 - Ancient Languages with Fortran 77
Assignment Description. The purpose of this assignment is to give you some experience programming
with older programming languages. You will be using Fortran 77 for this assignment (and not a newer
version of Fortran!).
Write a program in Fortran 77 to sort an array of numbers entered from the keyboard and then using
binary search, search for a number in the array. If the number is not found then it should ask for another
number. The program should work in a loop to search for multiple numbers one by one without having to
execute the program again. Your program must use the 77 standard of Fortran--you may not use a later
version of Fortran to complete this assignment (eg. Fortran 95).
A good reference (probably one of the only remaining) on Fortran 77 can be found here.
Deliverables. Submit your .f source code (some compilers use *.f77 as the file extension, which is also
fine), a screenshot of a sample run and output of your program, and a text file with a writeup about your
experiences with Fortran 77 to Beachboard Dropbox.
