Last I checked, Fortran was one of the few languages that lets you use extremely precise numbers. C languages (java, C++), usually use up to 32bit numbers (reals?). The way my CS101 professor told us, Fortran let you use 128bit or larger numbers in a process. Quite a bit more precise than the ladder logic/FBD/C emulation programming I'm trying to learn for PLCs.

EDIT: 'Sup Kettering buddy. The only stuff I know about Fortran is the stuff that Cater ranted about. :/
