I'll note that the critical element here is the "you" (as in the
programmer) part. A language won't automatically do this kind of thing
for you. It is a basic programming skill of recognizing patterns and
organizing things logically. When I say "basic", I don't mean that it is
necessarily trivial, but rather that it is important. It is a skill, and
one that can take time to learn. (As with most skills, some people never
really do learn it, and others pick it up relatively quickly).
A programming language can provide the tools to help implement things
once the programmer has discerned the relevant patterns and
organization. The programming language can also "push" you to look. But
the real work of establishing organization remains to the programmer.
That's why they pay us the big bucks. :-)
Specifically, yes Fortran provides multiple features relevant to this
issue, as mentioned by others. But those features won't just solve the
problem by themselves.
