Hi.My name isJohn.

This year,I got into master course and first became familiar with Fortran.

Yesterday, I got a question from a seniorwhether Visual Fortran 10.1 belongs to Fortran 2008 or 2005 or 2000.

He said there are two lines for Fortran version, one from product seller and the other one from US strandard.

Is there anyone who has any idea about the question?

If you're talking about Fortran standards, the current one is known as Fortran 2003, and the previous one as Fortran 95. With correct choice of options, ifort is intended to implement all of f95, and much of f2003, including the TR options which came before 2003. Much the same is true of several other Fortran compilers. Fortran 2008 hasn't yet become a standard.
Are you confused by Microsoft Visual Studio release designations? Recent ifort 10.1 releases are compatible with VS2008 as well as VS2005, and, where applicable, VS2003, but those have no relationship to Fortran standards.
