'''Fortran''' (previously '''FORTRAN'''<ref>The names of earlier versions of the language through FORTRAN 77 were conventionally spelled in all-caps (FORTRAN 77 was the version in which the use of lowercase letters in keywords was strictly nonstandard). The capitalization has been dropped in referring to newer versions beginning with Fortran 90. The official language [[international standard|standards]] now refer to the language as "Fortran." Because the capitalization (or lack thereof) of the word ''FORTRAN'' was never 100% consistent in actual usage, and because many hold impassioned beliefs on the issue, this article, rather than attempt to be normative, adopts the convention of using the all-caps ''FORTRAN'' in referring to versions of FORTRAN through FORTRAN 77 and the title-caps ''Fortran'' in referring to versions of Fortran from Fortran 90 onward. This convention is reflected in the capitalization of ''FORTRAN'' in the [[American National Standards Institute|ANSI]] X3.9-1966 (FORTRAN 66) and ANSI X3.9-1978 (FORTRAN 77) standards and the title caps ''Fortran'' in the ANSI X3.198-1992 (Fortran 90) standard.</ref>) သည် [[ဂဏန်းသင်္ချာ]] နှင် [[သိပ္ပံ]] တွက်ချက်ရေး အတွက် [[general-purpose programming language|general-purpose]],<ref>Since FORTRAN 77, which introduced the <code>CHARACTER</code> data type.</ref> [[procedural programming language|procedural]],<ref>Since FORTRAN II (1958).</ref> [[imperative programming language|imperative]] [[programming language]] ဖြစ်သည်။
