Different types of file structure
A text Document. A source file A text file nn object file

A text file (also spelled text file; an older alternative name is flat file) is a type of
computer file. Structured as a sequence of lines of electronic text. A text file is data that
is stored in a computer file system. It is a collection of characters organized in lines. In
Windows, you can open a TXT file in either Microsoft Notepad or Microsoft WordPad,
which are both included. Windows comes with it. To open a TXT file in Notepad, select
Windows Accessories Notepad from the Windows Start menu.
Select File - when Notepad opens. Open A text file is used to store human-readable
standard and structured textual data or information. It is defined in several formats,
including the most widely used ASCII for cross-platform use, and for Windows-based
operating systems, ANSI.
1.Portable document format (PDF) A PDF file is a popular file format in many workplaces.
2.Word (DOC and DOCX) document...
3.HTML and HTM (Hypertext Markup Language).

4.Excel spreadsheet file from Microsoft (XLS and XLSX)

An object file is a text file (TXT).
An object file is a computer file that contains object code, which is machine code output
from an assembler or compiler. The object code is usually relocatable and not directly
executable. It is a sequence of bytes. Orqanized into blocks. Other metadata may include
the compilation date and time, the compiler name and version, and other information.
Identifying information. The intermediate form between executable and source code is
the object file. Object files are used to represent control data in a machine-independent
format. allowing it to happen recognizing object files and interpreting their contents in
a common way. The remaining data in an object file uses the target processor's encoding,
regardless of the machine on which it is stored. Which the file was made a source
document. A file containing original or critical data that serves as the foundation for a
publishing or other system processing.
For example, the continuously edited text files of this encyclopedia become the source
files for every cycle, deployment. A source file consists of a series of procedures and
functions. An object file is a series of bytes organized into files. Blocks that are
understandable by the machine. When the operating system defines various file
structures, it also includes code to support these files structure. Humans can easily
understand the source file. Series of functions and processes. A source program can be
divided into one or more "source files" or "translation units," with the latter referring to
the input to the compiler. A source file is a glorified text file containing program
instructions written in a specific programming language. C, Java, or Python are examples
of programming languages.

Organizational structure of files

The way data is stored in a file is referred to as file organization. File organization is
critical because it determines access methods, efficiency, flexibility, and storage devices
to use.
There are four ways to organize files on a storage medium.
File Organization in Sequence.
Heap File Management
- Information blocks are used in pile file organization. Records are integrated into
the information blocks at the end of the document in this technique.

Organization of Hash Files

B+ Organization of Tree Files
Sequential File Organization
- The sequential technique is the most basic method of record organization. The
documents are put away in a regular and sequential manner in this technique.

-
Clustered File Organization
Records in a sequential file are organized in the order in which they were entered. The
records' order is fixed.
Records in sequential files can only be read or written in the same order. You cannot
shorten, lengthen, or delete a record after it has been placed in a sequential file.

Heap File Management.

- An unordered file, also known as a heap file, is the most basic type of file
organization. Records are kept. They should be placed in the file in the same
order that they were inserted. A new record is added to the file's last page; if
there is insufficient space on the last page, a new page is added.

-
Organization of Hash Files.
A hash file organization is also known as a direct file organization. This method uses a
database to store the records.
The hash function is calculated, which provides the address of the block where the
record will be stored.

To obtain the block address, the hash function is applied to columns or attributes. The
records are saved at random. B+ Organization of Tree Files. The advanced method of an
indexed sequential access method is B+ tree file organization. It employs a tree-based
system. In File, use a structure similar to this to store records. It employs the same key-
index concept, with the primary key used to sort the records. For each of the primary
key, the index value is generated and mapped with the record.
File Organization in Clusters
Two or more related tables/records are stored within the same file known as a cluster
file in cluster file organization clusters. These files will contain two or more tables in the
same data block, as well as key attributes. Only the data used to map these tables
together is saved.
File Management System:
- A record the board structure is used for document support. It is a programming
 language that manages information documents in a computer system. A record
the board architecture is limited in capabilities and is designed to manage
individual or group papers, such as distinct office reports and records. It may
display report details such as the owner, creation date, state of completion, and
other office-related features. A record the board framework is another name for
a document director. Each computer stores information in a complex progressive
document framework comprised of registries and subdirectories. Records are
reserved within these registries, usually in accordance with pre-determined
criteria that are not imposed by a program's guidelines.

Folder Structure
- A folder structure is the way folders are organized on your computer. As folders
are added over time, you can either keep them at the same level—like Folders 1,
2, and 3 in the chart below—or nest them within each other for a hierarchy—like
Subfolders 1B and 1B-1 below.
