A file in a computer is a collection of data or information stored on a storage device (like a hard drive, SSD, or USB drive) under a specific name.
Think of it like a digital document. A file can contain different types of data, such as:
- Text (e.g., documents)
- Images (photos)
- Audio (music)
- Video
- Programs (software)
Each file has:
- A name (to identify it)
- An extension (like .txt, .jpg, .mp3) that tells the computer what type of file it is
- A location (where it is stored)
For example, report.docx is a file that likely contains a document created in a word processor.
