Hi, i came across this in one of the programs and i had a hard time trying to figure out what F14.6 is. The program goes like this:

write(*,60)pint,(dexp(pi*xi)-dexp(-pi*xi))*dcos(pi*eta)
& /(dexp(pi)-dexp(-pi))

60 format('Numerical and exact values are:',
& F14.6,' and',F14.6,' respectively')
print*,'The value of phi is:',pint

pint is from a sub program above. But what does the F14.6 mean? Is it a format of displaying something?

F14.5 is a format, how to display a floating point number. In this case, the number will be displayed at total 14 characters length, with 2 decimal places.
So the 14 characters means: 11 chars (digits) before decimal point, the decimal point and 2 digits after decimal point.

Read about formatted output in a Fortran manual.
