Probably dumb q about google crawl, but saw no reference

Is googlebot able to crawl ahrefs to a folder on the domain, or does it need the full path? I know in the sitemap, it needs the full path but what about the page level when it crawls?

In other words, for my domain, parstars.com, is the following

<a href="/Default.aspx?tabid=105&aff=10">

The same as

<a href="www.parstars.com/Default.aspx?tabid=105&aff=10">

The same as

<a href="http://www.parstars.com/Default.aspx?tabid=105&aff=10">

as according to googlebots eyes?

    Big Edit: Sorry, I had that wrong. The sitemaps do use absolute urls, but all my navigation only uses relative urls. It does not cause any problems for Google.

      Ok, thanks for the edit. That helps...I had to adjust my sitemaps because one wasn't kicking out absolutes, so I was curious as to my navigation being an issue. Thanks for the edit and the further verification.

      The www doesn't work because it is not http, and the http//www. is understood in the initial one, correct?

      Still learning here...thanks.
