What is the default directory path for downloads on MacBook Pro?

I am trying to set a working directory in R studio Cloud to find a data file I downloaded into my MacBook downloads folder. Unfortunately, I don’t know the path name

Sorry if this is an obvious question. I am very knew to this.

how do i get finder to search in a folder? when i search in finder, it automatically searchinges "this mac" rather than the folder I had selected. When I change the search in the top of the finder window to select the folder that I had open - by clicking on it - the search continues to find files anywhere on my mac. I can tell its finding results from wierd and random places elsewhere on the system because if I select a file in the search results, it shows the path at the bottom and it has nothing to do with the folder I had selected. is there a way - in finder - to search a folder and its sub folders for files containing the words I am searching for and not have it show results from the entire system? if there is not a way in finder, what is the way I can search for files containing the text I am looking for using TERMINAL, where I believe things might behave logically?

It's ~/Downloads/, where ~ is your home folder.
