Elf

Imagine there is a magical creature called an elf. It's like a tiny, cute person with pointy ears. They live in a different world called a fantasy world, where everything is not exactly like the world we live in.

In computer talk, an ELF is a way to organize and store computer programs called binary files. These binary files contain instructions for the computer on what to do. The ELF format organizes these instructions into different sections, like a book dividing its content into chapters. These sections include things like the code, data, and resources needed for the program to work correctly.

When you run a program on your computer, the computer needs to read and understand the binary file it was created with. The ELF format helps the computer to do this, making it easy to read and load the program into memory.

So, in short, ELF is like a book that helps computers understand and run programs correctly.
