Detailed Explanation / विस्तृत व्याख्या
Absolute Path (पूर्ण पथ)
Hindi
Absolute Path वह पूरा पता होता है जो किसी फ़ाइल या फ़ोल्डर की सटीक लोकेशन बताता है। Windows में एक Absolute Path में निम्न शामिल होते हैं:
- Drive Letter (जैसे C:)
- Colon (:)
- Backslash ()
- File/Folder Name
यदि config.ini फ़ाइल C ड्राइव की root directory में रखी है, तो उसका पूरा path होगा:
C:\config.ini
English
An absolute path specifies the complete location of a file starting from the root of a drive.
Since config.ini is stored directly in the root directory of the C drive, its complete path is:
C:\config.ini
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?
A. config.ini
Hindi
यह केवल फ़ाइल का नाम है, पूर्ण path नहीं।
English
This is only the filename and does not specify its location.
C. C:\Users\config.ini
Hindi
यह दर्शाता है कि फ़ाइल Users folder के अंदर है, जबकि प्रश्न में root directory बताई गई है।
English
This path places the file inside the Users folder, not in the root directory.
D. \config.ini
Hindi
यह root-relative path है, लेकिन इसमें drive letter नहीं है।
English
This is a root-relative path and does not explicitly identify the drive.
Important Concepts
Root Directory
Hindi
Root Directory किसी drive का सबसे ऊपरी स्तर (top-level folder) होता है।
उदाहरण:
-
C:\ -
D:\ -
E:\
English
The root directory is the highest-level directory of a drive.
Examples:
-
C:\ -
D:\ -
E:\
Absolute vs Relative Path
| Absolute Path | Relative Path |
|---|---|
C:\config.ini | config.ini |
| Complete location | Depends on current directory |
| Starts from root | Starts from current folder |
Exam Point / परीक्षा हेतु महत्वपूर्ण तथ्य
✅ Absolute Path = Drive Letter + Full Location
✅ Root Directory of C Drive = C:\
✅ File in Root Directory = C:\filename.ext
✅ Windows uses backslash (\) as the path separator.
One-Liner
A file named config.ini stored in the root of the C drive is referenced by the absolute path C:\config.ini.
यदि config.ini फ़ाइल C ड्राइव की root directory में है, तो उसका पूर्ण path C:\config.ini होगा।
