Language Elements
Note. Fortran is case-insensitive. The convention of writing Fortran keywords in upper case and all other names in lower case is adopted in this article (except, by way of contrast, in the input/output descriptions (Data transfer and Operations on external files)).

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or elements:
“The reader uses his eyes as well as or instead of his ears and is in every way encouraged to take a more abstract view of the language he sees. The written or printed sentence lends itself to structural analysis as the spoken does not because the reader’s eye can play back and forth over the words, giving him time to divide the sentence into visually appreciated parts and to reflect on the grammatical function.”
—J. David Bolter (b. 1951)
“Barbarisation may be defined as a cultural process whereby an attained condition of high value is gradually overrun and superseded by elements of lower quality.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
