Hi I am new to stack developer community.... I am not able to know which slash to use while saving a css file in css folder (/ or \) because I am currently learning web development and in that my professor when she creates a css file it something looks like ( css/style.css) and in mine it looks like (css\style.css) .

I am currently using mine, should I change it to my professor one ??????

this is the default css path that display in my pc

Modern browsers will accept the / as path separator on any popular platform. So there's no reason to use the backslash.

CodePudding user response：

You can use any slash. Either one will work fine.

All browsers (Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, etc.) will support / as well as \, so there's no reason to be worried about which one to choose. Just choose whichever one which suits you.

If you want to know which slash to use when accessing a path locally, then read the below.

If you are using a Unix-based operating system (macOS, Linux), then both of those support forward-slashes in a path (/).

However, if you are using Windows, then it supports backslashes (\) in file paths.
