What is the File Extension ADB?

Identification

A file with an ADB file extension is a Ada body file. The file extension allows your computer to recognize that the file is written in Ada, allowing it to open and utilize the program it contains.

Location

You are most likely to find a ADB file under your program files or in the location you use to save programs you create with your text editing program.

Function

An ADB file contains a set of instructions that your computer follows to complete a task written in the ADB programming language, or more simply a program. ADB programs have a variety of functions and are usually used by businesses.

Benefits

ADB files are written using English words rather than symbols or other characters, making it easier for programmers to analyze and change programs when errors arise, according to AdaCore.com (see link in References).

Considerations

To edit a ADB file, a text editor like Notepad, Wordpad or PSPad is needed. If you are not responsible for installing or editing software for your company, never remove a ADB file from your computer as it is likely to play a vital function.
