Path p1 = Paths.get("c:\\company\\records\\customers.dat");

Path p2 = p1.resolveSibling("\\clients.dat")
This will set p2 to c:\clients.dat, which is not what you want.

How this happens?

There’s no vast different with;

Path p2 = p1.resolveSibling("clients.dat");

but it provides;

c:\\company\\records\\client.dat

I am not sure what you mean by "no vast difference". \\clients.dat starts with \, which is the root component, while clients.dat is relative path. This is a vast difference.

thanks i got it.

resolveSibling doesnt seem to be anywhere in the course material I have read in preparation. Is this on the syllabus? Seem to be quite a few things appear in these questions that don't appear in the course material.
