joinpath

joinpath(parts...) -> AbstractString

Join path components into a full path. If some argument is an absolute path, then prior components are dropped.

Examples

Join path components:
```
julia> joinpath("path", "to", "file.txt")
"path/to/file.txt"
```
This example joins the provided path components "path", "to", and "file.txt" into a full path.
Handle absolute paths:
```
julia> joinpath("/home/user", "documents", "file.txt")
"/home/user/documents/file.txt"
```
If any of the path components is an absolute path (starting with /), prior components are dropped, and the absolute path is returned.

Join path components using variables:

julia> base = "/usr/local"
julia> folder = "share"
julia> file = "README.txt"
julia> joinpath(base, folder, file)
"/usr/local/share/README.txt"

It is possible to use variables as path components in joinpath.

Common mistake example:

julia> joinpath("path/to/folder", "/file.txt")
"/file.txt"

In this example, one of the path components is an absolute path ("/file.txt"), causing the prior components to be dropped. Ensure that you provide relative paths or handle absolute paths appropriately to avoid unexpected behavior.
