A relative path describes the location of a file in
relation to another file on the same current Directory .
The starting point is the location of the document with the
path. The path may appear as:
images/image123.gif
Looking at this path you can tell that the document with
this path is inside of a Current folder which also has a
subfolder named images. And, inside of the images
subfolder, there is a file named image123.gif.
We can Say like, "Stay inside the folder you are already
in and find a subfolder named images. Now look inside of
that subfolder and find a file named image1.gif."
Also known as the full path, the absolute path is a path
that contains the root directory and all other sub
directories required to get into the directory you're
currently in or wish to get to. Below is a basic example of
a generic path and an absolute path.
Absolute path:
/home/user/My Picture/images/image123.gif
As can be seen from the above example, the absolute path
contains the full path instead of a few directories
contained within the absolute path. Below are some
additional examples.
Example 2
Absolute path:
C:\My Picture\images\image123.gif
