3. Using the Path class

1. Determine the default file system on the host computer

   
       FileSystem fs = FileSystems.getDefault();
   
   

2. Define a Path using the FileSystem.getPath() method

   
       Path path = fs.getPath( "C:\\example\\Data.txt" );
   
   

   Note: the specified path can be either absolute or relative

   A relative path is a path relative to the current directory
