For example, in a Pascal program, when a reference to an array exceedsits bounds, the error is flagged (if runtime checks arent suppressed). You cannotexpect a FORTRAN program to detect similar errors when you pass data to itfrom a Pascal program. FORTRAN stores arrays in column-major order where the leftmost subscriptsvary the fastest. Pascal, however, stores arrays in the opposite arrangement, withthe rightmost subscript varying the fastest, which is called row-major , FORTRANS default lower bound for arrays is 1. Pascal has no default;the lower bound must be explicitly specified. Heres how the different layoutslook: Pascal var t: array[] of integer;t[l,l], t[l,2], t[l,3], t[2,l], t[2,2], t[2,3] FORTRAN integer t (2,3)t(l,l), t(2,l), t(l,2), t(2,2), t(l,3), t<2,3) When a P
