    Below is an example program that calculates velocity based on acceleration and time. The program declares the appropriate variables and calculate the velocity.

    program findvelocity
    ! Program to calculate the velocity from the
    ! acceleration and time
    
    ! Declare variables
    implicit none
    real :: velocity, acceleration = 128.0
    real :: time = 8.0
    
    ! Display initial header
        write (*,*) "Velocity Calculation Program"
        write (*,*)
    
    ! Calculate the velocity
        velocity = acceleration * time
        
        write (*,*) "Velocity = ", velocity
    
    end program findvelocity
    

    Additional information regarding how to perform input and output in the next chapter. The comments are not required, but help make the program easier to read and understand.
