cd /home/user/Service/Staff
pwd
# You will figure out in your terminal: /home/user/Service/Staff
 From Staff, change directory to Data using relative path.
Solution.
pwd
# You will figure out in your terminal: /home/user/Service/Staff
cd ~/Service/Data
pwd
# You will figure out in your terminal: /home/user/Service/Data
 From Data, change directory to ESI-SBA using relative path.
Solution.
pwd
# You will figure out in your terminal: /home/user/Service/Data
cd ~/ESI-SBA
pwd
# You will figure out in your terminal: /home/user/ESI-SBA

 From ESI-SBA, change directory to Data using absolute path.


Solution.
pwd
# You will figure out in your terminal: /home/user/ESI-SBA
cd /home/user/Service/Data
pwd
# You will figure out in your terminal: /home/user/Service/Data

 From Data, change directory to Staff using relative path.


Solution.
pwd
# You will figure out in your terminal: /home/user/Service/Data
