Sorting in Co-array Fortran
Our example demonstrates sorting in Co-array Fortran. We’ll look at sorting for built-in types.
In this Co-array Fortran example, we’ve implemented a simple bubble sort algorithm to sort arrays of different types. The sort
subroutine is generic and can handle both character and integer arrays.
We first sort a character array and then an integer array. After sorting, we print the results. Finally, we check if the integer array is sorted using a simple array comparison.
To compile and run this program:
Note that Co-array Fortran doesn’t have a built-in generic sorting function like Go’s slices.Sort()
. Instead, we’ve implemented a basic sorting algorithm that works for both strings and integers. For more complex sorting needs, you might want to use external libraries or implement more efficient sorting algorithms.
Also, Co-array Fortran doesn’t have a direct equivalent to Go’s slices.IsSorted()
. We’ve implemented a simple check for the integer array using array operations, but this approach may not be as efficient for large arrays.
