Question

What is absolute filename and relative filename?

Answer 1

The file name can be specified with its complete path and drive letter. Such a specification of file name is called absolute filename. For example – c:\test\myprogram.html where test is a current directory in which myprogram.html lies. The file name is a file name relative to the current directory. That means while specifying the relative file name we should not mention the complete path of the corresponding file. For example – new File(“myprogram.html”);
