In WinDos it is .exe, in Unix executables usually have no extensions.
A sceen saver is just an executable program with a .scr extension. In other words, It's just a program that displays moving objects on your screen. This is why you should never run a screensaver that is not from a trusted source.
A file with the .exe extension is an executable file that can be opened by Windows or MS-DOS that opens a program. It is also known as a program file. A file with the .pdf extension, however, is a document file that can be open by Adobe Reader, Word 2013, or other compatible programs. It is impossible to convert an exe file to a pdf file.
C-source program doesn't rum, you have to compile and link it. The executable rums like any other binary program.
When compiled, comments produce no executable code. Rather, comments are intended to let other developers know what is happening in a program.
Comments are non-executable statements within JavaScript (or any other programming.) In JavaScript, comments are surrounded by /* and */ for multi-line comments, or started with // for single line comments.
An 'exe' extension file is created by a compiler that translates source code to machine code, usually in a Windows environment. An executable program can open any file (including other executable files) by using the standard file API calls with a binary open option. Unless you are doing something very specific with executable files it doesn't make much sense to read in an executable file from another executable file or program.
An executable. In Windows systems, executable files are denoted with a .exe file extension. When double clicked on, the operating system will hand over control to the program, which allows it to carry out its given tasks.
Executable memory is memory that the program counter (PC) can point to, i.e. instructions can be executed from executable memory. In the 8086/8088, there is no distinction between executable and non executable memory - all memory is the same. The distinction only came into being with the 80286, and grew in functionality until DEP (Data Execution Prevention) on the 80686 running XP, though other operating systems could well have implemented the distinction earlier.
Convention. Of course you can use any other extension, like 'helloworld.my-own-c-source' instead of 'helloworld.c' but why should you?
A file name extension "associates" that file to the program or type of program that created it. For examples:.bmp = Paint.jpg = Photoshop or other graphics program.txt = Notepad.doc = MS Word 2003,docx = MS Word newer versions
An executable file is a stand-alone binary file, in windows the most common executable files are followed by the extension .exe. A corrupted executable file is a one of these stand-alone binaries that either has missing data or data formatted in such away that it cannot be interpreted by the computer. Most of the time these occur because of half downloads or missing data, but in rare occasions it can be caused by third party harmful applications that modify the binary data making it unreadable.
A .exe file is an executable file, which means that it will start all by itself. For example, when you insert a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM into the drive on your computer, the drive spins, and the computer looks for a file called "setup.exe". When it finds it, it starts the program automatically and installs the new software or game. -------- An exe actually will not always self execute. There are many executable files (.exe) which will only run when a user tries to open them. They will only automatically start when something else tells the system to do so. This can be an autorun.inf file or a CD/DVD, or a startup entry in the registy, scheduled tasks, or other startup locations.
