I'm interested in seeing a discussion of the implementation of the internal implementation (data structures) used for array slicing, especially in the multi-dimensional and dynamic array scenarios. Dataphile 00:14, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)

Another interesting aspect to be mentioned here is the difference between 0-based and 1-based languqages. Typically in 0-based environments, slicing functions/methods take two args, the first for the first element to be returned, and a second index-arg that usually specifies 1 number higher than the last element to be extracted. There is quite a bit of info on this subject, as a google on slicing "0-based" "1-based" shows. 141.152.253.15 17:21, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Just a question, but in the Fortran 90 section, should PRINT statements be used? I know that PRINT isn't obsolete or deprecated, but I was always taught that WRITE is the "correct" method of output because it can output to more than standard output, which is all PRINT can do, and that WRITE allows use of the extra options (ADVANCE, etc.) TheMatt (talk) 17:34, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Slices in Fortran 66

This section is still wrong. The code in the example is Fortran 77, not Fortran 66 which did not let you do (*) dimensions or * default formats or PARAMETER statements. I'd move that example to the F77 section and put in something that used the standard DIMENSION VEC(1) for variable length arguments. John L (talk) 18:46, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

This section is wrong. First, arrays are stored by column in Fortran, so the example is a column slice, not a row slice. But row slices are very easy, you have just to pass an increment along the array and its length. A fairly common trick in libraries, like BLAS. Fustis (talk) 19:08, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
