URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator.
It is the address used to access resources on the internet, such as websites, images, videos, and files.
Structure of a URL:
A typical URL consists of the following parts:
\[
\text{protocol}://\text{domain}.
\text{top-level domain}/\text{path}
\]
For example, in the URL `https://www.example.com/index.html`:
- Protocol: `https` (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure)
- Domain: `www.example.com` (the domain name of the server hosting the resource)
- Path: `/index.html` (the specific resource or file requested on the server)
Example:
The URL `https://www.google.com/search?q=example` leads to Google's search page with the query "example" entered.
