More seriously, later Fortran has additional routines, and confusion can arise: thus subroutine FREE was renamed to SFREE, and array INDEX renamed to INDEXS, though calling it SINDEX was the first idea - but that would require additional declarations so as to keep it integer. The habit of not bothering with minor declarations lingers on with exploratory programmes...

===Results===

 

The idea was to start with an initial state having the Sun, Earth and Moon all in a straight line along the x-axis, but after some ad-hoc messing about, confusions escalated to the degree that an ad-hoc calculation prog. was in order. This turns out to need a cube root function, and a proper solution for this raises again the utility of palindromic functions. Later Fortran supplies intrinsic functions such as EXPONENT(x) which returns the exponent part of the floating-point number, ''x'' and extracting this would be useful in devising an initial value for an iterative refinement calculation. Clearly, one wants power/3 for this, and so being able to write something like <code>EXPONENT(t) = EXPONENT(x)/3</code> would help, along with similar usage of the FRACTION(x) function - omitting details such as the remainder when the power is divided by three. The same ideas arise with the square root function, though here, SQRT is already supplied. Alas, only the SUBSTR intrinsic function of pl/i has palindromic usage.

Calculate some parameters for the solar system of Sun, Earth and Moon.

Notably, wanting a circular orbit to ease inspection of the results meant that the actual semi-major axis of the earth's elliptical orbit could not be used as in the first trials. Instead, the orbital period was taken as a year (wrongly so, as this includes the precession of the earth's axis of revolution, with a period of about 26,000 years) and the radius of a circular orbit having that period determined. This however is affected by whether the calculation is for the sun alone (so, a massless Earth), or, the sun and the earth together, or the sun, earth and moon together. As well, there is no z-action: the moon's orbital plane is deemed the same as that of the earth and it isn't. Results:

=={{header|Pascal}}==

This was written in Turbo Pascal, prompted by an article in an astronomy magazine about the orbit of an asteroid about a planet about a sun. It expects to receive command-line parameters for the run, and wants to use the screen graphics to animate the result. Alas, the turbo .bgi protocol no longer works on modern computers that have screens with many more dots. It contains options to select different methods for computation. An interesting point is that if the central mass is fixed in position (rather than wobbling about the centre of mass, as it does), then the Trojan orbit positions are not stable.

===Relativistic orbits===
