Print a Multiplication Table: Revisited

WARNING: This example assumes the output is sent to a printer, and as a result, every formatted output contains printer control.

Problem Statement

We shall redo the multiplication table problem using only one format for printing the whole table.

Write a program to print the multiplication table in the following form:

         1    1    2    2    3    3    4    4    5    5    6    6    7    7
....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5
  1*1= 1  1*2= 2  1*3= 3  1*4= 4  1*5= 5  1*6= 6  1*7= 7  1*8= 8  1*9= 9
  2*1= 2  2*2= 4  2*3= 6  2*4= 8  2*5=10  2*6=12  2*7=14  2*8=16  2*9=18
                                    :
                                    :
  8*1= 8  8*2=16  8*3=24  8*4=32  8*5=40  8*6=48  8*7=56  8*8=64  8*9=72
  9*1= 9  9*2=18  9*3=27  9*4=36  9*5=45  9*6=54  9*7=63  9*8=72  9*9=81

Solution

PROGRAM  Multiplication_Table
   IMPLICIT  NONE
   INTEGER, PARAMETER :: MAX = 9
   INTEGER            :: i, j
   CHARACTER(LEN=80)  :: FORMAT

   FORMAT = "(9(2X, I1, A, I1, A, I2))"
   WRITE(*,FORMAT) ((i, '*', j, '=', i*j, j = 1, MAX), i = 1, MAX)
END PROGRAM  Multiplication_Table
