What are file type extensions?

Answer 1

A file extension is the last (usually 3) letters after the full stop. These letters define what application the file was written for e.g.

filename.doc = a Microsoft Word file

filename.mp3 = a mp3 audio file

filename.exe = an executable computer program

filename.pages = an apple pages file

filename.jpeg = a picture file

and so on.

Answer 2

File type extension is a sequence of digits which is used to find the type of file.

For example,

.txt means its a text file

.mp3 means its a music file

Though you can open a .txt file in Media Player but it won't run.

So, it is recommended for the OS to open it in Media Player only (or any other player).
