Performing Basic File Operations


Files and Folders

Files are used to store information in a computer.
☞ Different types of files store different types of information.
☞ Each file has a file name and a file name extension that identifies the file type.
☞ The file name and file name extension are separated by a period or a ‘dot’.
For ex, abc.txt, IT.doc, xyz.mp3, etc.
☞ A Folder is a location where a group of files can be stored.
☞ Folders are just like a container that stores files.
