Answer 2

The rules to name files and directories are as follows -

• We should avoid using big and meaningless words to name our files and directories.
• An appropriate version number if it has any is to be written along with the name of the file.
• We should always maintain a proper order to remember and get the files in a small amount of time in case there are a lot of files.
• We should always keep file names simple and short but also keep in mind that it makes sense.
• We should avoid spam words as file names.
