Starnge problem

There is no error when I compile it. But when run it in the Results.dat file there is no results writen. Only zeros in all columns. Why is that happen.

Hi ferry2,

You need to pass in your main program’s “x” and “y” variables to Tridiagonal_Solv. Otherwise, the “x” and “y” in Tridiagonal_Solv are local to the subroutine.

Though, I’m a bit surprised the code made it to writing out a file. It should get a segmentation violation in Tridiagonal_Solv since several of your arrays are assumed-shape but not used as arguments. Also, since x and y’s size wont be known until the file is read in, they should be allocatable arrays. Finally, be sure to declare the arrays with a “0” lower bound. In Fortran, the default is 1.

Now my code is:

Hi ferry2,

The stars indicate that your number is too wide for the width provided, however, this is not your main issue.

You want to allocate x and y only once, preferably in your main program. Hence, remove the allocatable clause from x and y’s declaration in WriteToFile and Tridiagonal_Solv as well as removing them from the allocate statements. By allocating x and y in WriteToFile, you’re actually printing our junk values.

Also, since n isn’t known until after you read in your values, you need to wait to allocate x and y until after ReadFromFile is called. Otherwise n’s value is junk.

Since x and y don’t use element zero, you probably want to change “x(0)=a” to “x(1)=a” and remove “y(0)=0”. Also, since the value of Step never changes, why not call it once and store it’s value in a local variable?

  • Mat

@mkcolg thankc for the tips. I edit my program and now the problem is that in the “Results.dat” file I’m geting only zeros. Maybe I have a logical error.

Hi ferry2,

I’m assuming your a student, or at least new to programming, so instead of just telling what’s wrong, I wan you to try and figure this out yourself.

Hint: Reread my first post and then look over your main program again.
