Q: What is the difference between binary and text files?

A: All files can be categorized into one of two file formats — binary or text. The two file types may look the same on the surface, but they encode data differently. While both binary and text files contain data stored as a series of bits (binary values of 1s and 0s), the bitsin text files represent characters, while the bits in binary files represent custom data.
