The file is not complicated, I just have defined an array and a recursive subroutine. implicit none integer, parameter :: prec=kind(1d0), i64=selected_int_kind(15) integer, parameter :: L(0:43) = (/                     &  1, 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 41, 67, 109,                   &  177, 287, 465, 753, 1219, 1973, 3193, 5167, 8361,     &  13529, 21891, 35421, 57313, 92735, 150049,            &  242785, 392835, 635621, 1028457, 1664079, 2692537,    &  4356617, 7049155, 11405773, 18454929, 29860703,       &  48315633, 78176337, 126491971, 204668309, 331160281,  &  535828591, 866988873, 1402817465 /) recursive subroutine quicksort (array)  real(prec), intent(inout) :: array(:)  real(prec) :: temp, pivot  integer :: i, j, last, left, right  last = size (array) end subroutine quicksort   it will do the same thing.
