RE: C translator for calculator project
Hello!

(05-14-2019 06:28 AM)Dan Wrote:  The translator would translate the Fortran code to my keystroke programming language, not machine language, so no Cray and you would have to be content with only double precision but I'm pretty happy with it's performance.

EDIT: page 19 of NASA's paper shows a "refactoring" of legacy code into modern Fortran. I would need some resources on the Fortran 2018 (the latest standard) language.

The translator approach seems very reasonable! And I doubt that anybody would use a handheld calculator to compute whether or not a certain asteroid will hit the Earth in 2156 or not. So all the extra precision is certainly not requrired.

The current standard (Fortran 2018) is defined in this lengthy document from ISO: isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink?func=ll&objId=19442438&objAction=Open

Cheers
Max
