F (programming language)
open-in-new
<p>F is a <a href="/facts/Modular_programming/sNoqKvRD">modular</a>, compiled, numeric programming language, designed for <a href="/facts/Computational_science/PnVD19hw">scientific programming</a> and scientific computation. F was developed as a modern <a href="/facts/Fortran/m1KqjcMU">Fortran</a>, thus making it a subset of <a href="/facts/Fortran_95/m1KqjcMU">Fortran 95</a>. It combines both numerical and <a href="/facts/Data_abstraction/hAnxmJle">data abstraction</a> features from these languages. F is also backwards compatible with <a href="/facts/Fortran_77/m1KqjcMU">Fortran 77</a>, allowing calls to <a href="/facts/Fortran_77/m1KqjcMU">Fortran 77</a> programs. F was implemented on top of compilers from NAG, Fujitsu, Salford Software and Absoft. It was later included in the <a href="/facts/G95/mPvrr2gq">g95</a> compiler. </p>
