What does ../ mean here?

Thank you,

I don't know if it's the same on all systems, but it usually means "one
directory above the current (or default) one". So if the default path to
your source files is, say "/MyApp/Source", then that would point to the
directory "/MyApp".

I think it is the same on all systems. Otherwise, the code wouldn't be
portable.

It isn't portable; location of files other than the standard headers,
is implementation-defined.

It's not. Portable code can include the headers specified in the
standard, but ($16.2/5): "The mapping between the delimited sequence and
the external source file name is implementation-defined."

Indeed, it is not portable.
