Finding Programs and Files: Files and Folders

Since folders can be located inside other folders, we get a hierarchical structure that somewhat reminds a tree. This is true about every operating system.

The root folder is the great-grandparent of all folders. In root, we have Users, Applications, and Volumes. In Users, we have the folders 'keith' and 'nigel', whose contents aren't shown. The Applications folder is empty. In Volumes, we have USB and MAC. USB contains the folder 'Unix and perl course'. This folder contains 4 folders: Application, Code, Data, and Docs, whose contents are not shown. The contents of the Mac folder aren't shown.
