Fortran (also FORTRAN ) is a statically typed , compiled (sometimes interpreted ), imperative , computer programming language originally developed in the 1950s used for scientific computing and numerical computation half a century later. The name is a portmanteau of For mula Tran slator/ Tran slation . Early versions of the language were known as FORTRAN, but the capitalization has been dropped in newer revisions beginning with Fortran 90. The official language standards now refer to the language as "Fortran".
