Is it ok to add a slash when using the img tag

Question

when I'm adding an img in html I have to add a / in the source section or else it's not working
the tag is looking something like this :

<img src="/images/example.jpg" alt="" >

just want to know if it's okay or if I have some kind of problem

Answer 1

If you need to specify the path to a file that is located in another folder, then you specify the full path to the file, and putting a slash where we go to the new folder.
In your example, the first slash is redundant
<img src="images/example.jpg"
