081. Syntax for character array without manual padding#
topic: Character variables
Note
This tip is a draft1.
Fortran 2003 lets you write an array of character variables as
s = [character (len=4) :: “one”,”two”,”five”]
instead of
s = [“one “,”two “,”five”] ! “one” and “two” padded
Manually padding large arrays of strings is a pain.
