1. What is the difference between Absolute & Relative Xpaths?

Question

Accepted Answer

Absolute Xpath is the complete path from the root element to the desired element, while Relative Xpath is the path based on the current element.

Absolute Xpath starts with a single slash (/) and is more specific but less flexible.
Relative Xpath starts with a double slash (//) and is more flexible but less specific.
Absolute Xpath is more prone to breaking if the structure of the page changes.
Relative Xpath is easier to maintain and update as it is based on the element's position or attributes.
Example of Absolute Xpath: /html/body/div[1]/div[2]/input
Example of Relative Xpath: //input[@id='username']
