What is a .PB file?
A .PB file is a type of computer file known as a PureBasic Source File. It is created using a program called PureBasic. This file contains source code, which is a set of instructions written by a programmer in a programming language called BASIC. BASIC is a simple language that was designed to be easy to learn. The source code in a .PB file can include various elements such as variables, which are used to store information, functions, which are blocks of code that perform specific tasks, and references to other source files, which means it can link to additional code stored in other files.
To open and work with a .PB file, you can use the Fantaisie Software PureBasic program. This is the same software that is used to create these files. It understands the structure and content of the .PB file and allows you to edit the source code. If you don't have PureBasic or prefer not to use it, you can also open .PB files with a basic text editor. Text editors are simple programs that allow you to view and edit plain text. However, using a text editor means you won't have access to the specialized tools and features that PureBasic provides for editing and managing PureBasic source code. Examples of text editors include Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and Gedit on Linux.
