Replies for: I noticed that FIZZBUZZ still prints the multiples, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10 and so on. Is there a way to skip line 40?

Oh wow, you're right, I totally missed that. Somehow I thought CONTINUE in Fortran is like continue in C and other C-likes, and didn't pay attention to the output.

Turns out CONTINUE in Fortran does literally nothing, and it's only used as placeholder (like Python pass).

The correct thing seems to be CYCLE instead of CONTINUE.

I just tried CYCLE and indeed:

           1
           2
 FIZZ    
           4
 BUZZ    
 FIZZ    
           7
           8
 FIZZ    
 BUZZ    
          11

By the way thanks for the terrific "speedrun". I'm looking forward to reading it all.
