What does prepending a file path with "..\" do?
I had been having a difficult time getting Java to find the file I wanted it to use until I tried prepending ".." to the front of my file path. However, I'm not sure what this does specifically. I have tried to google the info and searched this website, but no relevant results popped up.

Appending .. will mean that you are referring to the parent directory.
