So,
I'm attempting my first program in Fortran, trying to solve quadratic eqn. I have double and triple checked my code and don't see anything wrong. I keep getting "Invalid character in name at (1)" and "Unclassifiable statement at (1)" at various locations. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
! This program solves quadratic equations
! of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

Thanks in advance!
