Ok, im in one of these weird stupid trivia moods tonight. And I come across something in my head that I don't know and really want to know. Im not uber computer man here so it confuses me where this data would be saved.
situation:
when you save something using ASCII such as a txt file. Each ASCII symbol takes up 1 byte. So if I made a txt file that said.
How big am I
and then saved it as "sizequestion.txt" the file will be 12 bytes large. Since there are a total of 12 characters including spaces.
Well... where the hell is the file name saved? Why is it that even with a filename almost as large as all the text in the damn file itself still only take up that which is the size of all the ASCII symbols within the file? |
