Computing - Linux Command Prompt

Here is a question:
'Login to your Linux computer. If necessary, open a terminal window. You will see the command prompt. Describe and explain each part of the command prompt that you see.'

By 'command prompt', is it referring to the '>>>' or everything in the black window (it looks similar to cmd.exe in Windows)?

I know this is a sort of strange question but my teacher has confused me, and some students wrote about '>>>' but this seems wrong as the question asks for 'each part' to be explained, and '>>>' doesn't have multiple parts.

Hello I'll move your thread to the computer science section where you are more likely to get some help

They mean the bash terminal.

Similar to that on Windows and Command Prompt... But it's just called bash.

Is that the entire black window then?

It looks like this

Lets say you have "foo@foobar:~$". "foo" is the user currently using the command line. "foobar" is the name of the computer (usually called the hostname). The tilde "~" is the file path that the terminal is currently in. The ~ means its the current users home path, so for "foo" it would be "/home/foo". So for example if you "cd /var/www/html" then it would appear as "foo@bar:/var/www/html". The $ means that the current user using the command line is a normal user. If you were to change to the root user it would be #.

Hope this helps!
