Quick Question about exec("");

I have been trying to get through the breakout tutorial and have a easy question. 1) Why does exec("~/exec.cs"); work but says missing file when I type the same thing in the console log.

Why would you exec something in the console?

However i don't believe you would use the ~ try exec("./exec.cs");
