Key differences between Fortran and Bash

CharacteristicFortranBash
SyntaxStrict and verbose syntax, designed for numerical computation.Concise and flexible syntax, primarily for command-line scripting.
ParadigmProcedural and imperative programming language.Command-line interface and scripting language, supports procedural programming.
TypingStrongly typed, requires variable declarations.Dynamically typed, variables can change types.
PerformanceHighly optimized for numerical and scientific computations.Performance depends on the commands used; generally slower for computation.
