How many types of XPATH there are?

There are two types of XPaths: one is Absolute XPath, and the other is Relative XPath. Absolute XPath starts with a single slash, meaning it starts from the root element, which is HTML, and goes step by step to the desired web element. This locator is not stable and will break easily if there is any minimal change in the HTML page, so it's not recommended to use it, and we are not using Absolute XPath.

Relative XPath is the one that we are using. It starts with a double slash, which means it jumps to the web element provided. Relative XPath is more reliable because we are being very specific, compared to Absolute XPath.

This question also can come with the difference between single slash and double slash as well. You can see that a single slash means it's just going one by one; it goes directly to the elements under that. But a double slash can jump to anywhere you want to go.
