Next: Passing Parameters in Up: Monitor and Command Previous: Execution of Commands . The MIDAS command language ( MCL ) consists of all the commands which you enter interactively, and an additional set of commands to provide the necessary tools to write MIDAS ``programs'', called MIDAS procedures . ... The following Command Language commands provide the necessary programming constructs like looping and conditional branching for MIDAS procedures, they cannot be used interactively: . ...

The aim of this section of the course is to enable you to use simple computer programs to solve a variety of common astronomical tasks. ... I have (somewhat arbitrarily) decided to use Python for this course, because it seems to be gaining popularity fast for astronomical data handling, and because some of you will have encountered it at the ATNF course. ... We've put Python (plus all relevant libraries) on the Stromlo Linux computers moron and maggot. ... Now log in to moron (or maggot). ...

... Preprocessor Compiler Control . ... This directive includes a file into code. ... include <file> or #include ``file'' . ... As another example if running program on MSDOS machine we want to include file msdos.h otherwise a default.h file. ... This is most often used with programs that translate other languages to C. For example, error messages produced by the C compiler can reference the file name and line numbers of the original source files instead of the intermediate C (translated) source files. ...

The two main numerical libraries in Fortran 90 are . NAG Numerical Libraries for Fortran 90 Users . IMSL Fortran 90 MP Library Both of these offer both a modified version of the Fortran 77 library, recompiled for Fortran 90, and a completely new library, using all the new facilities of Fortran 90. ... On the Sun using Sun OS 4.2.1 we also got completely wrong results when using library functions in single precision, since the C system on Sun converted all function calls into double precision. ...
