path notation

Path notation is a way to describe the location of a file or folder within a computer's storage system. It shows the hierarchy, starting from the main directory (like the root or desktop) and listing each subsequent folder or file you need to traverse to reach your target. Think of it like a detailed address, guiding you through nested folders step-by-step, using slashes or backslashes (e.g., C:\Users\Documents\Report.pdf). This notation helps computers and users locate and access specific items efficiently within complex storage structures.
