- Array Handling: Fortran has robust support for array operations and multidimensional arrays, which makes it particularly strong in numerical and scientific computing.
- Intrinsic Functions: A wide range of built-in functions for mathematical, statistical, and array operations.
- Modularity: Fortran 90 and later versions support modules, allowing for better code organization and encapsulation.
- Object-Oriented Programming: Fortran 2003 and beyond introduced object-oriented programming features, including type extension and polymorphism.
