Can we not have abc.c and ABC.c in a same folder? Can someone explain me the reasons

Question

I am trying to create 2 c files with a similar name but the only difference is the case. one is in lower case and the other in upper but I keep getting an error on windows

Answer 1

Windows filesystems are case insensitive, that means that A.txt and a.txt denote the samefile. But the stored filenames are stored as-is, which means that if you created the file as A.txt it is shown as-is, but the way you name it doesn't matter.

You can change this behavior on some Windows, but I discourage you doing so.
