Suppose I pass it the name "foo" and both /a/foo and /b/foo are present in the
file system. What is your program supposed to do? Find one instance? Find
them all?

Check out the methods of the File class then; it has all the method
you need. Start at the root(s) of your file system and traverse the entire
directory hierarchy recursively; keep printing out the absolute path name
of the current file/directory if it matches your criteria.
