What is the numeric value for a file that is an executable and only an executable?

An executable file typically has specific characteristics and formats that allow it to be run by a computer. The numeric value representing executable files can vary based on the operating system and the file type.

1. For Windows: Executable files usually have the .exe extension. The numeric value associated with a simple executable might be associated with the permissions settings within the file system, where the executable file could have a value of 1 in a permission setting to indicate it is executable.

2. For Linux/Unix: Executable files do not have a specific extension. Instead, executability is determined by file permissions. In the Linux file permission system, an executable file is represented by a value of 755 or 700 when viewed with the ls -l command. Here, the leading 7 represents read, write, and execute permissions for the owner, while the other numbers represent different permissions for group and others.

These numeric representations may change based on the context in which they are discussed, whether it be in file permissions, file type identifiers, or other metadata.
