Solution

CD command is used to change the directory using absolute path name. An absolute path defined the path from its root directory.

suppose your directory name is myFolder and is located in root folder usr , so you would write following command

cd <pathName from its root directory>

cd usr/myFolder

a relative is path is a current directory path on which we work. suppose we working in a usr/myfol/ and want to change your location to usr/myfol/myfol2. then you will use the CD command as follow

cd usr/myfol/myfol2
