Relative paths as headers in C

[Manuv16589]

Hi there,

I have seen a program with include as follows:

#include "../../Host/myfile/header.h"

What is meaning of this? What does ../ indicate? What does this relative path represent? Thanks in advance.

Normally ./ is the current folder and ../ is the previous folder(one folder back)

If you can provide your tree structure than it would be much easier to explain you.

But still I give a try.
for example this is you tree structure.
grandparent/parent/child/yourCfile.c then you must find your header file at this PATH grandparent/Host/myfile/header.h .
