i have started the first lesson and this line below in the demo code looks weird to me
path = untar_data(URLs.PETS)/‘images’
can someone explain to me what the forward slash does here with a string “images”?
what am i missing here?
thank you!

have a look at how pathlib works.
untar_data() returns a Path object instead of a string pointing to where the data was untar’d to.
if i have a path object called p
which points at /usr/local/blah/pets
then i can create a new path like this: imgs = p/'images'
and imgs
will point at /usr/local/blah/pets/images
.
thank you!
actually i haven’t used pathlib yet, that is why it looked weird to me
