What is an EXE file? 

"what is an exe?" Kids: a creepypasta or a demon thingy of a character

Honestly, the drawings are so satisfying...

Nice video, but, what you're talking about? You started by explaining difference between text and binary file, gone through binary itself, started explaining what C and stack is, then what c++ does differently, and ended with "yeah, .exe is just instructions how to set up environment for program and executive program itself". I'm creating software myself and I understand video, but I thing casual user will not understand what's going on.

I haven't dealt with EXE files since I ran Windows On Linux, any file can be executable if you set it as such in the permissions. File extensions for me are used for compatibility with other systems, they aren't needed.

This helped me understand software related day-to-day stuff better. Thanks, you rock! :)

Thank you! As a librarian who helps patrons with computers every day. This information is very helpful to me.

Your voice is so great to listen to, especially now talking about science and tech!

I know its a long time since you made this but still, thank you for making it.

WOW!! A blast from the past. I started my programming career on a Honeywell 6000 mainframe computer writing code on a card punch machine. :) Started in assembly langue then moved onto COBOL and then to FORTRAN.

"What's .exe?" Me: The scary version of a character.

It felt like a drawing tutorial initialy 😅, unique presentation style, really appreciate🤗❤

“Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?” “How tough am I? I wrote a Pokémon game!” “Yeah, so?” “In ASSEMBLY!” “Oh, go right ahead in!”

"how evolution works" 4:40 "what is an exe file" 7:00

Its Telltale! Hooray!

Q: What is an EXE file? A1: Something that Windows needs, but Linux doesn't, b/c GNU/Linux doesn't care about file extensions (Well, the system doesn't, at least. But, ofc, higher-level configs can use them). A2: Something that's hella big from the start, b/c you decided to compile a Lisp program with SBCL and didn't use a tree-shaking algorithm -- holy shit, like 54MB for Hello World, not even joking; Lisp includes the entire environment, *_including the compiler_* . (Basically, it static links *_EVERYTHING_* )

I think this is a very good video to give someone a baseline knowledge of programming, but I thought this was actually gonna go into detail about EXE files, as I'm trying to make some of my python code into an actual program i can run on windows

I used to think exe files were virus because of sonic.exe

The most annoying error honestly looks like this: Segmentation fault Stack overflows aren't as common these days, considering that most compilers support tail call optimization, so you'd need to be using some deep non-tail recursion to generate one. Or allocating very large data structures on the stack instead of the heap.

"Pokemon Blue was written entireley in Assembly" While this is true with alot of GameBoy games, some devs wrote the game in C and compiled it to Assembly IIRC. I heard that's how Earthbound was developed. I could be entireley wrong though. :P

This video came out on my b-day

When he mention the Dogs Barking, I paused the Video and the Neighbor's Dog was actually barking.

Have you ever taken the Cisco A+ certification exam or ccent? If so any tips?

Thanks so much telly!

Another great video telly! You can trust that statement because I subbed first *heh*

Ive loved your videos for a while now, and I really love computer science too!!! I'd really like more videos like this.

This helped me put a lot. I'm about to go to school for computers even though I don't know too much about them. Do you know of any RU-vidrs that are a good source for learning about files and computers in general?

I had Luncher.exe in my computer and I dint know that was a bad program thanks man nice video

I'd say the problem that annoys me most when I'm programming is NullPointerException. It seems like just about everything can cause them and I see them with a fair amount of frequency.

LOL! Got this mixed up with your other channel, I thought this was going to be about some secret JW file on Ex - members!!

what is an exe A. a demon that lurks from hell B. an executive file format C. something that causes you to stop working

when you see a file with .mp3.exe that means you gotta download it and run it, it will be fun

Low level programming is so hard, that even Microsoft used DOS as bootstrap for Windows up to 98 or Milenium

You've one of my favourite voices among the YT atheist community. Have you ever considered doing voice work like reading books on tape? You'd rock at it.

I love your voice. Like, I've seen most all of your drawings, and they're what drew me in (along with the atheism/cult stuff), but now I can just put your videos on and listen to your voice. You should try narrating sometime, I think you'd be goode at it.

My media file not open any media player please suggest

everytime i download something it says downloading roblox studio exe

Memory Map Core dumps on C++ are my most hated error... (usually happens when you fuck up pointers)

why exe is limited for windwos?

Also the extension stuff is mostly relevant to Windows and DOS. Linux. Unix only care if the file is marked as executable in the file system.

When your downloading a app It said IHDKKK_NDJD_38EJMDD_exe. (i made those random) and i was worried

May be wrong but I learned .dll stood for dynamically linked library. Maybe they dropped the "ally" later on?

Endless loops can cause stack overflows easily, making that variable, over and over... That is how I often get them. Opps.

Interesting, do you have any other videos or links?

Does anyone know the name of the song?

thank you

Maybe I'm comically lazy, but I was hoping for the X Files music to play in the intro.

What is the program you're drawing with here? Well, I assume it's you drawing here lol. Thanks for the video btw, lots of good info

finally something not related to .exe games

What the hell man I came here to learn about computer file not get distracted by a drawing of an elephant.

Cool stuff huh! I learned Fortran in college. I taught myself Basic and bought the editor and compiler back in the 80s. Basic which is not too different from Fortran. I don’t suppose that these languages are still taught in college; dinosaur era high level languages. Remember Kent Hovind asserts that dinosaurs are still well and alive in the Congo! My dad programmed an IBM computer in COBOL. The machine had 4 k core memory!!! And took up a huge room with a special elevated floor and very robust environmental control system to keep the room from getting too hot. The IBM 1401 actually used small electromagnets for the binary “on off” code. Today they use billions of microscopic transistors implanted into silicon dioxide wafers. I did a double major in physics and one track was microelectronic device fabrication. Everything I learned back in those days is obsolete. Someday there’ll be quantum computing, maybe you could do a video on thAt possibly. I also read once about a computer that used microbes that aligned to magnetic fields to represent binary code. When I was young I did a lot of numerical analysis using Fortran because of my Science background. Every so often I still write macros in Visual Basic in Excel. Taught myself the Visual Basic Statements. I never learned C or C ++. Something I should do someday.

Curious: What languages do you generally use in your job?

thanks for the information :}

Subbed to you Telltale

What about EBCDIC?

Didn't explain EXE files specifically and in detail, but it was still a good video overall.

whats the song in the intro?

He spent 5 minutes explaining everything not .exe files, then explained .exe files in layman's terms in the last minute. Very cool Kanye!

Was looking for pure science on this channel, got an explanation of files... Pleasantly surprised... Also first ;P Edit: DAMNIT I WAS ONLY SECOND the 3d carrot beat me D':

My most hated error is the segfgault, not stack overflow.

whats the name of your other channel?

Your drawings are amazing wow how?

Song name?

I wonder whether LA-MULANA was made with C++ or C... Cave Story was a C program (though the dev modified the language a lot), but LA-MULANA began development a few years earlier...

This is so cool

The drawings are so satisfying🤤

AWESOME!!!!

My friend, you need a separate channel to explain computer topics. I'm surprised that you don't, because I've learned so much just by listening.

Wooo! I'm late but I love ya man.

The drawing made me to subscribe to the channel 🙉

How about tutu app

Achhaa what is meant file?

Oh cool, you do computers? LINUX NEXT LINUX NEXT

Keep it up tale

"This program cannot be run in DOS mode" -Every EXE file ever

What's his second channel?

I just had a flashback to the 1990s. There are only two types of file, ASCII and binary? ASCII are text files? Whatever happened to utf-8? Or even ISO 8859-1. Oh, you're talking about Windows. Where exes are frequently filled with all sorts of crap. Are BMPs still embedded in exes? I gave up at that point. I could feel my knowledge regressing.

idk why tf Some people making Horror games and adding .EXE at the End. It started off with Sonic.EXE and the File itself in the Creepypasta is just called "Sonic" and the .EXE part is mean't to be called "Excutable File" Not something To turn it into a Horror Games, He is just called "Sonic" Not "sonic.exe" It's just a File name.

Telltale wit is that the makers of the walking dead from season 1,2,3, and 4 like with my girl clementine

.EXE vs. .COM files? Also, ".APP" files, but that's a different environment. Finally, do filename extensions work the same way in Linux?

I am scary exe

Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 Were all written in assembly

that elephant has no tail?

I was guessing what is the drawing. Less focus to the explanations haha

Wheres the scary bloody hedgehogs clickbait smh

I think Ex files used to be a tv show but I don’t know

so exe means executable,?

Megaman.EXE Jack in!

I'm a visual learner and the drawing distracts me so I need to take away my glance on the computer to listen about the topic. If I return me eye to the pc my mind focuses on his drawings hehe

So sometimes exe files arnt viruses?

I hate when all my peers try to seem edgy and cool by adding .EXE to random shit so it looks like a virus or something

Exe is binary or hex ???

Am I the only person who didn’t search this? Your drawing is great btw

You sound like Elliot Alderson from Mr. Robot! :D

Answer is here: 2:20 Leave a like if helped.

Stack overflow, heh. No, segfaults are the real hell. Uninitialized pointers and/or memory corruption. Combine that with debugging other people's code and you have a true nightmare.

You know why i whent here I saw exe on my computer I uninstalled it

The drawings keep distracting me from what he's saying

I asked for a reason why the ROBLOX website was downloading exe files to my computer, not a documentary

Is it just me or does it piss you off that most people (mainly younger kids) assume EXE means something’s “HaUNteD” when it’s actually just a goddamn file extension. I also kinda hate the sonic.exe game for starting the trend of making literally any file extension mean that something is “hAUnteD”.

lol nice drawing tutorial
