QUESTION 4

PATH is the environment variable which represents your search path. The shell looks along PATH to find where an executable file is located as it tries to execute a command from the command line. If there is dot (.) on your PATH, the shell will look in the current directory for the command. The shell searches PATH from left to right. It is a colon separated list.

If there is a : at the beginning of PATH, that is an implied dot (.) --> same as .:

If there is a : at the end of PATH, that is an implied dot same as :.

If there is a :: in the PATH, that is the an implied dot same as :.:
