In IT systems, path refers to the location of a file or directory on that system. On PCs using MS DOS or Windows, the path is as follows :-
driveletter:\directoryname\sub-directoryname\filename.suffix

Unix systems are similar but use a modified syntax, as follows :-
/directory/subdirectory/filename
