IDL example source code

A simple program in IDL that will do simple calculation

{`
:  PRO example 
a=5                     ;sets a to 5 
b=13.5                  ;and b to 13.5 
c=a+b                   ;adds a and b and puts the result in c 
d=a*sin(b)              ;sets d to the product of a and Sine(b) 
e=b*exp(a)              ;sets e to the product of b and Exp(a) 
print,a,b,c,d,e         ;prints the results 
END
