What is relative path and absolute path?

1. Absolute path : Exact path from root directory.
   Relative path : Relative to the current path.

2. absolute path is from home directory to user directory..

   but

   relative path is from present working directory to user directory.

   Ex:

   Say, your current working directory is /home/tst

   If there is sub-dir called scripts here, then

   the absolute path for the sub-dir is /home/rama/scripts

   and

   relative path is scripts or ./scripts (relative to /home/rama)
