Assignment 1 for Finance 599. 

When turning in these assignments, please email me a copy of the program and include in the email text the sample output that you have cut and pasted from your screen.

1.  Type in, compile, and run a fortran program that does the following:

• sums the integers from 1 to 100
• takes the resulting number and divides it by 3.2
• writes the answer to your screen in such a way that the screen reads "The sum of i from 1 to 100 is ...., and when you divide it by 3.2, the answer is ..."   (without the quotes)

2.  Type in, compile, and run a fortran program that does the following

• reads the data file "/u08/prdaves/public/assign1.ascii"  This file has some numbers--one number per line.
• calculate the mean and standard deviation of this series of numbers (Hint, the square root function in fortran is sqrt(..) and you use a read statement that looks like read(10,*,end=900) where line 900 is what you do when you get to the end of the file you are reading.)
• write out your answer to the screen in such a way that the screen reads "The mean of the sample is ... and the standard deviation is ..."

3.  Type in, compile, and run a fortran program that does the following (you can modify the program from 1 to do this)

• takes the numbers from 1 to 100 and
  • divides each one by 3.2
  • writes the number and the quotient to a file called "sample.out"

  The output should look like this:  (the integer starts in column 1, the quotient in column 10.  The quotient should have 4 decimal places.

  1     0.3125
  2     0.6250
  ..... etc.
