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.
