💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not using quotes around the path string causing a syntax error.

Using backslashes without escaping them in strings.

Paths must be strings. Using quotes around the path string is required.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create an absolute path to 'index.js' inside the 'src' folder, starting from the current directory.

Node.js

const indexPath = path.[1](__dirname, [2]);

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aresolve

Bjoin

C'src/index.js'

D'src\index.js'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using path.join which may not return an absolute path.

Using backslashes without escaping in the path string.

path.resolve with __dirname and a string path returns the absolute path.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create an absolute path to 'app.js' inside the 'lib' folder, using path.resolve and process.cwd().

Node.js

const appPath = path.[1](process.[2](), [3]);

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aresolve

Bcwd

C'lib/app.js'

D'lib\\app.js'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using __dirname instead of process.cwd() when the current working directory is needed.

Not quoting the path string or using backslashes incorrectly.

process.cwd() returns the current working directory. path.resolve combines it with the relative path string to get the absolute path.
