Hello World for Windows #54
Description
The Hello World page mentions how to install gfortran on Windows but is otherwise oriented towards Unix-like operating systems. If it is supposed to be equally usable for someone on Windows, here are some suggestions:
It says
To check if you have gfortran setup correctly, open a terminal and run the following command
Windows Terminal now starts out with Powershell. I think Fortran compilers and batch files were made to be used with CMD, which you can get by typing cmd at a Powershell prompt.
It says to compile with
gfortran hello.f90 -o hello
but on Windows there is a convention to give executable files a .exe suffix.
It says to use
$> ./hello
to run the executable, but in Windows you would run .\hello.exe or probably just hello.exe.
