What is the Full Form of FORTRAN?

FORTRAN Full Form is FORmula TRANslation. It is a general programming language. It is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. This is Originally developed by IBM. In the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications it was came to dominate this area of programming early. In continuous  uses for over half a century in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational physics and computational chemistry. It is a popular language for high-performance computing and is used for programs and It is encompasses a lineage of versions each of which evolved to add extensions to the language  usually retaining compatibility with prior versions. It is successive versions have added support for structured programming and processing of character-based data (FORTRAN 77), array programming, modular programming and generic programming (Fortran 90), high performance Fortran (Fortran 95), object-oriented programming (Fortran 2003) and concurrent programming (Fortran 2008). This is rank the world's fastest supercomputers.

The initially released version included 32 statements related to computer programming. It has been revised and restructured for a number of times. Programmes in FORTRAN were written and designed in such a format that used a fixed column. It was primarily designed to serve in the areas of applications that are related to scientific and engineering implementations. The earlier versions faced some problems regarding their portability. But the developers have successfully dealt with this issue in the later versions and The main motive behind its designing was to translate math formulas into code.
