 +Always prefer [[https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-8.2.0/gfortran/Intrinsic-Procedures.html|built-in (intrinsic) functions]] instead of hand-coded routines since they usually include extra numerical checks to avoid intermediate under- or overflow while still performing optimally. Examples: 
 + 
 +  * ''NORM2(x)'' instead of ''%%SQRT(x(1)**2 + x(2)**2 + x(3)**2)%%'' 
 +  * ''DOT_PRODUCT(x, x)'' instead of ''%%x(1)**2 + x(2)**2 + x(3)**2%%''
