Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An executable file contains code that a computer can run or execute as a program. When the file is clicked or tapped, the operating system launches the program contained within the executable file. Object files are intermediate files generated during the compilation process, library files contain pre-written code that can be used by programs, and temporary files are created temporarily by programs and deleted after use. None of these file types are designed to be directly executed as programs.
