I would like to learn about different types of files and there purpose?
Good luck! There are so many types of files and specifications that even the world's leading technological experts don't know (or have even heard of) all of them. ;) The best you can do is learn about the types of files you NEED to know about. What operating system do you use? What do you use your computer for? What are you interested in? If you had mentioned any of these things, people could have given you some very concise and clear answers. However, we just don't have any idea WHAT you want to know about! :) If you use Windows, you are certain to encounter the Portable Executable Format files (PE) EVERY time you use your computer. Windows itself (it's kernel, components, libraries, and many other parts) are PEs! Your web browser is also a PE, and so are the libraries of code it's using! There are several different *extensions* for the PE format, that just lets Windows know how to treat them: *.exe, *.dll are just two of them. An EXE is short for "executable". This is the extension for programs/applications like you web browser, and it lets the operating system know it has an entry point which should be called when you attempt to load it. A DLL, on the other hand, is treated as a library. It gets loaded into RAM and mapped, but Windows doesn't call its functions; instead, it waits for and allows other programs to call it and use its features and functions (usually). There are also lots of image formats for photos: *.bmp (Bitmap) *.png (PNG format) *.tga (TARGA) etc... Some common video formats: *.avi *.wmv Point is, there are more formats than anyone can teach or learn about...
Can I merge different types of file?
hi in my opinion you in undemanding terms have not got adequate infiormation to start the activity. i'd ask: Why is the economic corporation president providing you with the IT setup? They cl;early don't realize it. The quote "She is far less conscious of the set up at Century economic corporation yet says they have been making use of an internet router particularly of servers", is mindless.... A router and server are 2 thoroughly countless issues that do thoroughly different projects... What relevance is that to something? you may no longer decide for the thank you to merge 2 structures without an entire diagnosis being completed. What hardware each makes use of, what utility they use etc. generally, what I even have discovered in the previous is that the better of two agencies would 'swallow up' the smaller. As First economic corporation won Century, i'd assume First economic corporation is larger and would purely handle Centurys clientele onto their equipment. Their equipment would then be rolled out to the Century branches. There does no longer be a 'merge' as such. make sense?
What are the different types of files in C?
Do you mean the C source code?Generally, there are one or more “.c” files with your code in it - one or more “.h” files that contain things like function and structure declarations that need to be shared between source files. Those are both ASCII files.The remainder are binary files - mostly full of machine code:Then when you compile your program you’ll get either “.o” or “.obj” files depending on which operating system you use. You might also generate a “.lib”, “.a”, “.dll” or “.so” file (again depending on the operating system) for any libraries your build.Then, when you’re done, the resulting program either has no file extension at all or (in Windows) it can be “.exe” or “.com” or (I think) a couple of other possibilities.Some build systems (notably Visual Studio) litter your hard drive with all manner of other files…god knows why - it seems to like doing that!If your DON’T mean files relating to your program itself - but files that you might read or write to - then any and all “types” of file are treated precisely the same in C. They are all considered to be streams of unsigned bytes. The C language and standard I/O library is completely agnostic about the type or content of the file…it’s a stream of bytes…period.
What are the different types of files?
This question is not specific enough, so I’ll add an answer to my interpretation of it. The first two types of files that came to my mind are text and binary.In text files, each byte represents a character from a standard character set that is usually intended to be human-readable. The most common character set used to be ASCII, though nowadays this has probably been superseded by the various Unicode representation forms such as UTF-8. Besides actual text, these files might be structured in other formats such as JSON or XML.Binary files contain information that must be interpreted according to an arbitrary file format, such as image formats like TIFF, PNG, or JPEG. Each byte might have a very specific meaning according to its context within the file (such as PNG chunks etc.).A good example of a file format existing in both types are Apple’s Property List (.plist) files, which used to be ASCII-encoded but have been (mostly) replaced by a more space-efficient binary version. The represented contents are the same, but the bytes in the files are encoded differently.
What is the different between a .h and .m file?
In Xcode there are two different types of files where you do development. The .m file is an implementation file which is like a set of directions for your computer to do. The . h is a header file which is where all of the Instance Variables are created. The implementation file is usually longer than the Header file.
What are the different types of movie files and video files?
Movie Files maybe one of the following: 1. DivX: The DivX Codec is popular due to its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality. It is one of several codecs commonly associated with ripping, where audio and video multimedia are transferred to a hard disk and transcoded. 2. AVI - meaning Audio Video Interleaved is a compression system provided by Microsoft. Sometimes AVI files are also called as RIFF (The abbreviation is not that very important!). This video can be played as is on the Windows Media Player 11.0. 3. Is another encoding method - based on previous lossy versions of MPEG-1 and MPEG 2. These are the main types of video files. The types of audio files are: MP3 - Most widely used mp3PRO, AAC, and MP2 - are older versions of MP3. WMA - Windows Media Audio - Provided by Microsoft. Newer versions include WMA Pro. WAV - is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing audio on PCs. Has no comrpession alogrithm to it.
What are file types? Why are there different types of files? What isthe purpose of the Files of Type list box?
lol ok well I will be the one to cover this vast question. File types are different formats of grouped information identified by your system in different ways according to the "file type". A file with the file type of: .exe is considered an Application and your system will run this program in an attempt to forfil the actions specified within the grouped symbols and information set inside of this file. Another example is .HTML or .PHP files. Your system can format the .HTML file and read it normally but with .PHP files it needs a special set of system "rules" if you will, to forfil the actions specified within the group of words and PHP codeing. The most common file types are: .txt .doc .ini .cfg .exe .vbs .sys .dll .cmd .file .mov .avi .jpg .jpeg .mpeg .mp3 .mp2 .gif .html .js .temp .ico .shortcut The purpose for file types is to help identify how a certian file will be handled. If you type the word hello into a .exe file, then your computer will try to run the program when you double click on it after saving but the coding is incorrect and will result in an execution error. .txt and .doc files are used for storing text that can be read by the user as a reference. and as for the type list box I'm not sure what your refering to. lol. -Void
What are the different types of computer files?
Loosely speaking, there are executable files (programs), data files, and special files. Unix uses special files such as /proc/interrupts or /dev/ttyS0 because the procedures to open, read, and write files are well supported and documented, and it's easier to treat everything as a file and use the same system calls in all cases - writing text to a file 'some.txt' is the same as writing it to a serial interface '/dev/ttyS0' as far as the program is concerned. Not all operating systems follow this convention.Executable files and data files are in fact similar, or the same, save that in Unix executable files are flagged with a file attribute bit - if the bit is not set, the system won't even try to execute them. They are all just binary data. Some binary data happens to be ASCII or UTF coded that humans can read (text, XML), some happens to be machine instructions that will do something reasonable (add two numbers, for instance) when the CPU executes them, but at heart they are all just bits. There is nothing to stop you trying to edit an executable program in a text editor or play an XML file as a sound waveform, and that's at the heart of some viruses and computer hacks such as buffer overflow - programs can be disguised as data, and in the "right" circumstances, made to execute.On some operating systems (VMS for instance), there is a distinction made between text files that have line attributes and binary files that don't. Unix doesn't make this distinction (all files are binary, and text has linefeed characters in it), but you still see this distinction in some FTP programs that transfer files from one kind of system to another.File extensions and media types (content-type values in email and web) are assigned by IANA; see Media Types
What are the different types of 3D format?
Displaying technologiesThe basic requirement is to display offset images that are filtered separately to the left and right eye. Two strategies have been used to accomplish this: have the viewer wear eyeglasses to filter the separately offset images to each eye, or have the light source split the images directionally into the viewer's eyes (no glasses required). Common 3D display technology for projecting stereoscopic image pairs to the viewer include:[6] With filters/lenses: Anaglyph 3D - with passive color filters Polarized 3D system - with passive polarization filters Active shutter 3D system - with active shutters Head-mounted display - with a separate display positioned in front of each eye, and lenses used primarily to relax eye focus Without lenses: Autostereoscopic displays, sometimes referred to commercially as Auto 3D. Others: In a CEATEC 2011 exhibition, Hitachi released glasses-free 3D projection systems that use a set of 24 projectors, lenses, and translucent half mirrors to superimpose 3D images with a horizontal viewing angle of 60 degrees and a vertical viewing angle of 30 degrees. Besides Hitachi, Sony is also working on similar technologies.[7] Single-view displays project only one stereo pair at a time. Multi-view displays either use head tracking to change the view depending on the viewing angle, or simultaneous projection of multiple independent views of a scene for multiple viewers (automultiscopic). Such multiple views can be created on the fly using the 2D-plus-depth format. Various other display techniques have been described, such as holography, volumetric display, and the Pulfrich effect; which was used in Doctor Who Dimensions in Time, in 1993, by 3rd Rock From The Sun in 1997, and by the Discovery Channel's Shark Week in 2000.
What are different types of image file formats?
They are different ways of storing the information in a photograph or a drawing. Ultimately image files are all made up of data bits stored in computer memory or on hard drives, but for different formats the bits are encoded differently. We use extenders (a period followed by three letters) in their filenames so we can easily recognize them. So piano.jpg is a jpg and horse.bmp is a bmp image. Formats such as bmp, raw, png and tiff are known as "bitmap" images. They store the individual colored dots (pixels) of a photograph or drawing. They can assign one of up to 16.7 million different colors and shades to each pixel, so they reproduce photos the most accurately. .jpg and .gif formats are similar, but compromise on color accuracy and reproducibility in order to shrink the size of their image files. Some formats (eg. png, tiff, bmp and gif) can store transparent areas along with the visible pixels. While a gif simply makes a chosen color transparent, the other formats offer 256 levels of transparency. That allows much more realism when one picture is superimposed over another. When you load transparency formats as layers in a photo editing app, the layers beneath them show to various degrees through the transparent areas depending on the transparency levels. A major issue with bitmap formats is that when enlarged enough, their pixels can become visible. The result is usually a blocky look with jagged edges. So it is always important to start with a scan or photo of high enough detail, and avoid enlarging it during editing.Formats such as psd and psb (both named from Photoshop's initials) can store not just a single image, but many image layers in a single file. This is necessary because during photo editing you want to be able to store and retrieve the individual layers on different occasions until the project is complete.Another major class of image formats (ai, eps) are called "vector" images. They are not based on pixels but on shapes. Adobe Illustrator is the most widely used vector editor. This type of format primarily stores colored shapes enclosed by curved or straight lines. Text can also be reproduced the same way. Clip art, including logos, can be drawn more precisely with this technique. And vector images can be enlarged as much as necessary without showing any blockiness or jagged edges.
