is there a way to use the find command to display only executable files?

You can go to a terminal and check the manual page to see the options for using find:

Code:

man find

)

Code:

find is used to search the files in that directory if u want to find any file locate is very useful in this case

the question was finding executable files, locate would not be helpful for that
