How To Open FOR Files

DESCRIPTION:

A FOR file extension is an application file used in fixed-form Fortran source code programming language. Fortran is an engineering/scientific based programming language that is designed primarily for numerical analysis and computation of scientific theory. It was designed and originally developed in the 1950s by IBM. FOR files are used in Fortran code to denote entire applications, or source code within subroutines of a program. The programming language is still in widespread use today, and code is written to solve such complex computational problems as fluid dynamics, analytical chemistry, analytical physics, meteorology, and finite element analysis. Speed rankings given to the world’s fastest computers are done based on Fortran programs. There are 3 other file types that use this extension, so users having difficulty with a file should ensure that the file type and application are both appropriate.
