I'm happy with that! Also, I might sort of deserve half points. As I
wrote, Fortran was my first computer language. I should have specified:
I started with Fortran 4 and left with FORTRAN 77. Both had
declarations like "INTEGER N".
(https://web.stanford.edu/class/me200c/tutorial_77/). "TYPE :: VARS"
came only with Fortran 90. And now I feel old.
https://www.rickmurphy.net/advent/ADVENT.FT is an example of FORTRAN
code from that era (the legendary Colossal Cave Adventure).
Emacs, of course, supports both dialects!
