File extension f information

File extension F or Fortran is a language used for general purposes, procedural and imperative programming. Most of its use is suited to serve scientific computing and numeric computation. It was originally developed and designed by IBM to be used in engineering and scientific applications. Fortran has been popularly known and dominates this programming area from before and has continued to do so for many years especially in areas that are computationally intensive such as CDF (computational fluid dynamics), weather predictions that are numerical & analysis of fine elements, computational chemistry and computational physics.
This procedural language is still being used to this day. The word Fortran is a blend word that is derived from The IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System. It encompasses a line of versions and each of these versions evolved to serve the purpose of adding extensions to this language while (in most cases) retaining compatibility between this version with previous versions. Additional support has been done to successive versions to facilitate processing of data that is character based. These versions also have module-based programming, object-based programming, object-oriented programming, generic programming and array programming.
