Fortran, short for "Formula Translation," is a high-level programming language primarily used for numerical, scientific, and engineering computations. It allows efficient manipulation of arrays and supports complex mathematical functions, making it ideal for tasks that require extensive numerical analysis and computational performance.

About Fortran
Fortran was created in 1957 by a team at IBM led by John Backus. It was developed to simplify the process of programming scientific and engineering calculations, which were previously done in assembly language. The goal was to create a more efficient and accessible language for performing complex mathematical computations on early computers.
Strengths of Fortran include its efficiency in numerical and scientific computing, strong support for array operations, and extensive libraries for mathematical functions. Weaknesses include less modern syntax compared to newer languages, limited support for contemporary programming paradigms like object-oriented programming, and a smaller community. Competitors include C, C++, Python (with libraries like NumPy and SciPy), and MATLAB.
