Section 8,2: Arrays
An array is a group of contiguous storage locations associated with
a single symbolic name, the array name. The individual storage
locations, called array elements, are referred to by a subscript
appended to the array name. An array can have from 1 to 7
dimensions. The Fortran statements that establish arrays are:
type declaration statements, the DIMENSION statement, and the
COMMON statement.
The data type of an array is specified in the same way as the data
type of a variable; either implicitly by the first letter of the
name or explicitly by a type declaration statement.
