Fortran 95 language source code file
File type: Source code and script file
Files with the f95 file extension contain source code written in the Fortran 95 programming language.
The source code is stored as plain text and can be viewed in a text editor such as PSPad.

The f95 file extension is associated with Fortran 95, a standardized version of the Fortran programming language descended from IBM FORTRAN.
An .f95 file contains plain-text program source code. It can be opened for viewing or editing in a text editor or word processor, although a Fortran compiler is required to build the source code into a runnable program.
Fortran is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative programming language especially suited to numerical and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, it has been used in numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational physics and computational chemistry. Fortran has been in continual use for over half a century and remains one of the most popular languages in high-performance computing, including software used to benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers.
On Microsoft Windows, use PSPad to open and edit an .f95 file. Because the file contains plain text, it can also be opened in another text editor.
Opening the file in an editor displays its source code; compiling and running it requires a Fortran development environment or compiler.
An .f95 file is source code rather than a document format, so it is not normally converted to another file format. It can be opened and saved as plain text with a text editor, provided the source code is not changed or reformatted incorrectly.
To produce a runnable program, compile the source code with a Fortran compiler. This creates compiler output such as an executable or object file rather than a converted copy of the original source file.
