Absolute Path
The absolute path specifies the complete path from the root directory to the file, regardless of the current working
directory.
The absolute path to "Notes.txt" from the "Projects" folder might be something like
C:\Users\Admin\MyDocuments\Projects\ProjectA\Program1.R
Relative Path
The relative path is based on the current location in the file system.
If you're in the "Projects" folder, the relative path to "Notes.txt" would be ../Notes.txt.
This is because you need to go up one level (..) to the parent folder ("MyDocuments") and then access "Notes.txt".
5.3.2 Setting a default Working directory
A default working directory is a folder where RStudio goes, every time you open it. You can change the default working
directory by performing the following steps:
Step 1: Click on the Tools menu. A drop-down menu appears.
Step 2: Select Global Options. The Options dialog box opens.
