what is the difference between relative path and absolute
path?

Answer Posted / raveendra reddy

absolute path contains the exact path if anyone wants
to search for the particular file.this path contains all
the root folder information.so, by seeing the absolute path
anyone can easily determine a particular file in our system.
relative path also contains the root folder
information,but we can't determine any file with that
information.if anyone who are there in the root folder or
who knows the root folder only can be determine particular
file.
I think this information is enough to understand.bye
