The window.location object allows you to retrieve the URL of the current browser window and navigate the web page to a new URL.

4. location.pathname: Signifies the path portion of the current URL. (e.g., /path)

5. location.search: Refers to the query string of the URL (the part after the ?). Query strings are used for transmitting search terms or data. (e.g., ?name=value)

6. location.reload(): A method for refreshing the current page.
