The F file extension relates to a programming language called Fortran, which stands for “Formula Translating System”. Developed in the 1950’s at IBM, this language is an imperative, procedural, and scientific programming language used for mathematical operations, modeling activities, and engineering. Fortran is one of the first high-level languages created and has its roots in assembly language and machine language. F files may contain lines of code or instructions written in the Fortran language.
Compatibility:
Fortran Windows Interface Compiler (FWIC), officially known as Microsoft Fortran, is used to compile F files into object code. Other related file types include FOR,.FTN, and .FPP. With FWIC, Fortran source files can be compiled into executables to run on Windows systems. Multiplatform Fortran compilers such as G95 Compiler, and Oracle Developer Studio, as well as additional programs such as the Parallel Visual Fortran (PVF), are available to compile source code.Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .F) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .F extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .F file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .F extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .F extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .F file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .F file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .F file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .F file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .F file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
