                    DIFFERENT FILE FORMATS

                 You must have observed that whatever we do on a computer is saved as a file. But every file
                 stores a different thing, like a Word file stores text, a video file contains multimedia, an audio file
                 contains audio and a picture file stores pictures. So, how does a computer differentiate between
                 different  types  of  files?  The  file  type  is  also  called  the  file  format.  So,  all  these  files  contain
                 different types of data and are saved in a specific format. The file format can be determined by
                 the file extension. A file extension is a group of two or more characters used to identify the type
                 of a file. It helps an operating system recognise the different types of files. The file formats of
                 different types of files depend upon the software used for creating those files. Software puts a
                 file extensions after the file name to specify its format. Some of the most commonly used file
                 extension or file formats are:

                     JPEG: It stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is used to store images and can have
                    extensions like .jpeg, .jpg, or .jpe.
                     MP4: It is used to store multimedia files, including audio, video, movies, and still images. Files
                    with the .mp4 extension are MPEG-4 video files.
