Well, it depends on the length of the file-extension. If you settle for letters and numbers, it will be 36n, where n is the length.

PS: your question has nothing to do with C or C++ or programming at all.

What is the datatype of images?

There is no single data type for images as there are many different ways to represent an image in computer memory. At best we can describe all image types as being a binary data type. In order to determine the actual type we must read the first few bytes of data looking for a known signature. Once we know the image type we can read the complete image header correctly and thus obtain the specific information we need to decode the payload properly. Note that we cannot rely on the file extension to determine the data type. Changing a BMP extension to a JPG extension does not change the file's encoding, it merely changes its name (the extension is considered part of the fully-qualified file name). A file's extension simply provides a convenient method for the operating system to associate file types with the applications that use them without having to examine the file itself.


When a c sharp file is compiled how many extra files are created?

When a C# file is compiled, typically two main files are created: an Intermediate Language (IL) file with a .dll or .exe extension, and a corresponding .pdb (Program Database) file that contains debugging information. The IL file contains the compiled code that the .NET runtime executes, while the .pdb file helps in debugging by providing a mapping between the source code and the compiled code. Additionally, a temporary .obj file may also be generated during the compilation process.


What is the file extension for a DVD RW file?

any extension can be used because the DVD disk is not the file. there are likely going to be hundreds if not thousands of files on a DVD. Some could be video files, (.mov, .wmv, .mpg, or others) some could be picture files (.bmp, .jpg, .gif, and many others) some could be executable files .exe, or zip files .zip


What is the standard file header for an executable file?

There is no such standard since different architectures support different executable formats while some support multiple formats. For instance, Windows 32-bit supports MZ (DOS) and PE format, while 64-bit also supports PE32+, all of which have an EXE file extension. Windows also supports the older COM (DOS) format. But, as with most file extensions, the extension is simply a method of organising files by type and for associating file types to specific applications, but they tell you nothing about the file itself. Only by physically loading the file and examining its header (if it has one) can the operating system determine its actual type. In other words, renaming a COM file to an EXE file doesn't actually change the file type; it has to be completely recompiled from source. The Apple Mac doesn't use extensions in the same way Windows does (many Mac files have no extension at all), but machine code executables are in the Preferred Executable Format (PEF), also known as Code Fragment Manager (CFM) files. Linux (and Unix) typically use the Executable and Link Format (ELF). Although each format obviously has its own standard header, there is no standard header that applies to all executables across all architectures.


What is meaning of default program in computer?

default program is an application that opens a file when you double-click it. For example, if you double-click a .TXT file in Windows and it automatically opens in Notepad, then Notepad is the default program for files with a ".txt" extension. If the file opens in Microsoft Word, then Microsoft Word is the default program. Default programs are necessary since many file types can be opened by more than one program. For example, your computer may have over a dozen applications that can open .JPG files. Therefore, theoperating system needs to know which program to open by default when you double-click a JPEG image file. Both Windows and Macintosh computers store a list of default programs for each file extension. These relationships between programs and file extensions are also called "file associations." Both the Windows and Macintosh operating systems allow you to change file associations if you don't like the default program that is associated with a certain file type. For example, if you prefer to play MP3 files in iTunes rather than Windows Media Player, you can change the ".mp3" file association to iTunes. This will set iTunes as the default program for all .MP3 files. Windows 7 has a built-in utility for configuring file associations called "Default Programs." This tool allows you to assign specific programs to one or more file extensions using a simple graphical interface. It also displays what file extensions are associated with each installed application. For more information on using the Windows 7 Default Programs tool, view theFileInfo.com Default Programs Help Article. While Mac OS X does not include a Default Programs tool, you can simply right-click a file and choose "Open With…" to select a different program to open it. If you want to change the default program for a specific file, select the file and choose File → Get Info. Then select a different program in the "Open with:" section of the window. If you want to change the default program for all files with the same extension, press the "Change All…" button

How do you read MUS files?

MUS extension files are usually associated with music files used for training or composing on your PC. They can be created by using several different types of programs which deal with professional music composition, such as Finale, Sibelius or Melody assistant. This type of file is not usually able to be played in standard media players since the file with this extension will contain specific information regarding the music file, such as tempo or tone.. Incorrect associations are the cause of many file extension errors.

How can you open an old file?

This is going to depend on the type of file that you are trying to open. The file extension is created depending on the software (and version) that was used. For example, if you use an older version of Microsoft Word to save a document, it has a .doc extension. If you use a newer version such as 2007, it will save the files with a .docx extension. You would need to have the correct software to open the file, but in many cases, Microsoft may make a viewer that you can download (depending on the file of course)

Should you have to type in the file extension when saving a file?

Whether you should have to type in the file extension when saving a file depends on the software and operating system being used. Many modern applications automatically append the appropriate file extension based on the chosen file format, making it unnecessary for users to type it manually. However, in some cases, especially with less common formats or certain programming environments, specifying the extension can ensure compatibility and correct file recognition. Overall, user experience and efficiency often dictate that manual entry of the extension is not required.
