Objectives 7.2, and 7.5 of the 1.5 exam both touch on paths and classpaths - I'd say this question is in scope for the 1.5 exam.

Spot false dilemmas now, ask me how!

if you are working on windows
then c:/myfolder/subfolder/ is absolute path
but if you are in /subfolder and executing program from /subfolder then
currently your relative path is /subfolder
absolute path starts from root if you are no linux machine
and from C: if you are working on windows.
but relative path is dir currently in which you are.
