URL does have syntax. It has a hostname which is the domain name assaigned to a host computer. DNS translates the domain name into IP address so the computer can understand, a port number, a query string and an anchor. There are two types of URLs, absolute URL and relative URL. An absolute URL specifies every part for the URL. For example, <- this is an absolute URL. Relative URL abbreviates the root URL by using two dots and only shows the current directory, all the previous directory(not the whole URL)
