Type of Computer file path

We have two types of Computer file Paths:

1. Relative Path

2. Absolute Path

   

   Relative Path:

   • Imagine you're telling your friend where to find your favorite toy in your room. You might say, "It's in the drawer next to the bed."

   • In HTML, a relative path tells the computer where to find a file based on where the HTML file is located.

   • Here's an example:

     

It's like saying, "Look for the toy picture in the 'images' folder right next to this webpage."

Absolute Path:

• Now, imagine you're telling your friend where to find your favorite toy in your house from anywhere in the world. You might say, "It's in my room, at 123 Main Street."

• In HTML, an absolute path tells the computer the full location of a file from the root of the computer or the internet.

• Here's an example:

  

  • It's like saying, "Look for the toy picture at the exact address 'https://www.example.com/images/toy.jpg' on the internet."
