Hi Mr.vigneshgets

Absolute path:

Also known as the full path, the absolute path is a path that contains the root directory and all other sub directories required to get into the directory you're currently in or wish to get to. Below is a basic example of a generic path and an absolute path.

Absolute path:
/home/users/c/computerhope/public_html/cgi-bin


Relative path:

Also known as a partial path or non absolute path, a relative path is only a portion of the full path. A relative path is often used in creating a web page; for example, instead of specifying "http://www.computerhope.com/index.htm" we would only specify "index.htm" if the page linking to the index.htm is in the same directory. Below is a basic example of a relative path


Non absolute path (Relative path):
public_html/cgi-bin

hope this help you to explain more about Absolute and Relative paths

Thanks
