what is the difference between relative path and absolute
path?
Answer Posted / sudipta
absolute means the path is absolutely present that means the required file's original path, from whenever u r present on ur system.
e.g.
i am finding for a file 'mypic.jpeg' which is present at d:/>my drive/picture & i'm present in the c:/>my document folder,then from that position the absoluute path is
'd:/>my drive/picture/mypic.jpeg'.
But in case of relative path,it indicate the path which is relative to that file(which one u want i.e 'mypic.jpeg') where it is present from that current location ,that may be the same folder,& it casually use when we hosted the file from server,locate the file with in the current folder & that is starting with '\' in windows os..
