Solution

The major parts of a file path are:

  1. File Name: This is the actual name of the file. It is unique within each folder but not necessarily across the entire file system.

  2. Extension: This is the part of the file name that comes after the last period (.). It is used to indicate the file type, such as .txt for a text file or .jpg for an image file.

  3. File System: This identifies the structure of the file system being used. Different operating systems use different file systems, such as NTFS for Windows or ext4 for Linux.

  4. Folder Path: This is the location of the file within the file system. It consists of a sequence of folders, separated by a forward slash (/) in Unix-based systems or a backslash () in Windows, leading up to the file.

Single File Programming QuestionGiven a string path, which is an absolute path (starting with a slash '/') to a file or directory in a Unix-style file system, convert it to the simplified canonical path. In a Unix-style file system, a period '.' refers to the current directory, a double period '..' refers to the directory up a level, and any multiple consecutive slashes (i.e. '//') are treated as a single slash '/'. For this problem, any other format of periods such as '...' are treated as file/directory names. The canonical path should have the following format:l The path starts with a single slash '/'.l Any two directories are separated by a single slash '/'.l The path does not end with a trailing '/'.l The path only contains the directories on the path from the root directory to the target file or directory (i.e., no period '.' or double period '..')  Return the simplified canonical path.  Test Case #1Input/home/  Output/home  Explanation:There is no trailing slash after the last directory name Test Case #2Input/../  Output /  Explanation:Going one level up from the root directory is a no-op, as the root level is the highest level you can go.
