Fortran - Errors and error handling - Part 3 - Preventing edge cases with types

This technical article discusses advanced error handling in Fortran by using derived types to enforce safety. It explains how to create a non-empty list type with a private data component and a constructor function to prevent calling an average function on empty arrays, thereby eliminating division-by-zero risks at the type system level.
