Creating a path using shortcuts

We understand shortcuts to be the . (current directory) and .. (parent directory) notations. This kind of path can be normalized via the normalize() method. This method eliminates redundancies such as . and directory/..:

Path path = Paths.get(  "C:/learning/packt/chapters/../JavaModernChallenge.pdf")    .normalize();Path path = Paths.get(  "C:/learning/./packt/chapters/../JavaModernChallenge.pdf")    .normalize();Path path = FileSystems.getDefault()  .getPath("/learning/./packt", "JavaModernChallenge.pdf")    .normalize();Path path = Path.of(  "C:/learning/packt/chapters/../JavaModernChallenge.pdf")    .normalize();Path path = Path.of(  "C:/learning/./packt/chapters/../JavaModernChallenge.pdf")    .normalize();

Without normalization, ...
