I'm working on a project that needs to implement few numerical methods in Fortran. For this, I need to write some recursive functions. Here is my code.
!
! File: main.F95
!
RECURSIVE FUNCTION integrate(n) RESULT(rv)
IMPLICIT NONE
DOUBLE PRECISION :: rv
INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: n
DOUBLE PRECISION, PARAMETER :: minusone = -1.0
IF (n == 1) THEN
rv = 10 !exp(minusone)
RETURN
ELSE
rv = 1 - (n * integrate(n - 1))
RETURN
END IF
END FUNCTION integrate
RECURSIVE FUNCTION factorial(n) RESULT(res)
INTEGER res, n
IF (n .EQ. 0) THEN
res = 1
ELSE
res = n * factorial(n - 1)
END IF
END
PROGRAM main
DOUBLE PRECISION :: rv1
PRINT *, factorial(5)
PRINT *, integrate(2)
!READ *, rv1
END PROGRAM main
For this program the output is:
NaN
1
If I change the order of the print statements (line 30 & 31), the output will be:
1
-19.000000
Output should be (for the original print statement order):
120
-19
I took the factorial function from the Wikipedia Fortran 95 language features page.
