Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -160626)

 

Explanation:

🔹 Line 1: Import Path

from pathlib import Path

Python's modern file-path library:

pathlib

is imported.

Path is used to work with paths like:

"C:/Users/Admin/file.txt"

or

"a/b/c.txt"

in an object-oriented way.

🔹 Line 2: Create a Path Object

Path("a/b")

Python creates a path object representing:

a/b

Think of it as:

Folder: a

 └── Folder/File: b

Current Path:

Path('a/b')

🔹 Line 3: Access .name

Path("a/b").name

.name returns:

The last component of the path

Path:

a/b

Parts:

a

b

Last part:

b

So:

Path("a/b").name

returns:

"b"

🔹 Line 4: Print Result

print(Path("a/b").name)

becomes:

print("b")

Output:

b
