When you download files from the internet, you often find files in the format RAR or ZIP no?
If you open it on a laptop, there may be no problem, but if you open it on a cellphone, how do you do it?

Get to know RAR and ZIP
Jaka wants to tell you a little bit about RAR and ZIP first. You have to be able to tell the difference first, the gang of the two types of files.
RAR is an abbreviation of Roshal Archive, where the name is taken from the name of the inventor, Eugene Roshal.
Whereas ZIP itself is not an extension of anything. The name ZIP means moving at fast speed.
So what's the difference? Actually not too much of a difference.
