I am trying to make a catalog of folk wisdom in fortran programming. I already
have a some theorems. For example:


                BAD GOOD
x = y/2.0 x=y*0.5
a**5 (a*a)*(a*a)*a
2.0*x x+x


I would appreciate any such words of wisdom you might have.
I'll collect and broadcast a compilation.


Steve
