Write an application that determines whether the first two files are located in the same folder as the third one. The program should prompt the user to provide 3 filepaths. If the files are in the same folder display All files are in the same folder, otherwise display Files are not in the same folder.

The program in Python is as follows:

fname1 = input("Filepath 1: ").lower()

fname2 = input("Filepath 2: ").lower()

fname3 = input("Filepath 3: ").lower()

f1dir = ""; f2dir = ""; f3dir = ""

fnamesplit = fname1.split("/")

for i in range(len(fnamesplit)-1):

   f1dir+=fnamesplit[i]+"/"

fnamesplit = fname2.split("/")

for i in range(len(fnamesplit)-1):

   f2dir+=fnamesplit[i]+"/"

fnamesplit = fname3.split("/")

for i in range(len(fnamesplit)-1):

   f3dir+=fnamesplit[i]+"/"

if f1dir == f2dir == f3dir:

   print("Files are in the same folder")

else:

   print("Files are in the different folder")

Explanation:

The next three lines get the file path of the three files

fname1 = input("Filepath 1: ").lower()

fname2 = input("Filepath 2: ").lower()

fname3 = input("Filepath 3: ").lower()

This initializes the directory of the three files to an empty string

f1dir = ""; f2dir = ""; f3dir = ""

This splits file name 1 by "/"

fnamesplit = fname1.split("/")

This iteration gets the directory of file 1 (leaving out the file name)

for i in range(len(fnamesplit)-1):

   f1dir+=fnamesplit[i]+"/"

This splits file name 2 by "/"

fnamesplit = fname2.split("/")

This iteration gets the directory of file 2 (leaving out the file name)

for i in range(len(fnamesplit)-1):

   f2dir+=fnamesplit[i]+"/"

This splits file name 3 by "/"

fnamesplit = fname3.split("/")

This iteration gets the directory of file 3 (leaving out the file name)

for i in range(len(fnamesplit)-1):

   f3dir+=fnamesplit[i]+"/"

This checks if the file directories hold the same value

This is executed, if yes

if f1dir == f2dir == f3dir:

   print("Files are in the same folder")

This is executed, if otherwise

else:

   print("Files are in the different folder")
