Big task: Writing an archiver in Java

From Quora: "In few words, 1 kilobyte contains 1000 bytes. Divide bytes by 1000 and you'll get kilobytes. Back in the day when computers weren't that powerful, 1 kilobyte was exactly 1024 bytes, but it seems people didn't like the number and decided that 1 kilobyte was equal to 1000 bytes to make things easier to remember. As time went by, the idea that 1 kb=1000 bytes grew in popularity and most people agree with it; on the other hand, there are still many who consider that 1 kb is 1024 bytes. In 1998, in order to stop the confusion, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the National Institute of Standards and Time (NIST) created the unit “kibibyte (KiB).” Since that moment, a kibibyte is 1024 bytes and the older unit, the kilobyte (kB), equals to 1000 bytes. Even though this should have killed the confusion, it only made it worse." I am still confused, why did part 12 use 1024? If 1 byte is considered 1000kb in current times?

I think it could be useful, when after each part that code is updated by codegym, we could get our own code back and compare with clean code from mentor. Great Big Task, I like it a lot. Useable program.

How is this task related to multithreading?

This one is pretty difficult in places. But a lot of interesting things to learn about working with zip files. I am surprised, though, that Java does not simply provide built-in code to zip and unzip files. Also, this project was kind of weird in that it has nothing to do with multithreading at all.

Has anybody really understood the whole program? Or at one point, you started going with the flow of the requests because you lost track of what each method does and how everything connects...

Almost all the tasks are tough. Spent a lot of time and finished these, not sure i remember anything now . Feels great to move on

17 level: pass arguments like that Files.createTempFile(null, null);

OMG why does it have to be so confusing? There's no help, so those who don't understand will just be stuck in some part forever, until someone good-hearted appears.

In part 8, before rewriting the main () method, you must remove the old code from this method.

I am not able to pass last condition of task 8.Could someone please help.
