In computing, "text" generally refers to data consisting of sequences of characters, often stored in files with extensions like .txt or .rtf. Text files are fundamental for storing information in a human-readable format and are used for various purposes, including storing code, configuration data, and simple documents 

Key aspects of text in computing:

•   Plain Text:

  This is the most basic form of text, containing no formatting information like font styles, colors, or images. Examples include .txt files created in Notepad or TextEdit.  
• Formatted Text:
• This includes text with styling information, such as bolding, italicizing, different font types and sizes, and other visual enhancements. Rich Text Format (RTF) is a common example of a formatted text file. 
• Character Encoding:
• Text files use character encoding schemes like ASCII or UTF-8 to represent each character as a numerical value that the computer can understand. 
• File Extensions:
• Common file extensions for text files include .txt, .text, .log, and .ini, among others. 
• Use Cases:
• Text files are used for a wide range of purposes, including storing configuration settings, writing code, creating documents, and logging events. 
• Text Editors:
• Programs like Notepad (Windows), TextEdit (macOS), and various others are used to create, view, and edit text files. 
• Data Storage:
• Text files can be used as a simple way to store structured data, where each line represents a record and values are separated by delimiters
