Output of Results

Abstract

The aims here are to introduce some of the facilities for producing neat output using edit descriptor s. There is also coverage of how to write the results to a file, rather than to the screen. There are examples which will illustrate the use of

• The i edit descriptor for integer data

• The f edit descriptor for real data

• The e edit descriptor for real data

• The g edit descriptor for real data

• The x edit descriptor for spaces

• The a edit descriptor for character data

• Repetition of edit descriptor s

• New lines

• Output using array section s

• Output using whole array s

• The open, write, and close statements.

We will also provide a brief summary of the rest of the control and data edit descriptor s, as people may see them in existing code.

Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
