Converting Fortran into usable C++ pseudo-code This C++ program is a simple example of how a language like Fortran 77 can be converted into usable C++ code. The C++ code leaves the original intent of the program intact, but the current example does not handle special cases like string formatting, such as the FORMAT statement. In addition, GOTO statements are converted as they are in the original Fortran program, which in some cases may lead to spaghetti-like code.
