How does the trailing slashes on the command line work?

Lets say I do ./fiend ./////, does that mean for every file and directory in my current_directory, I do not add another slash and then the file name. I.e. if the file A is in my current directory, then in my traverse function I would go to ./////A and not .//////A? 

In Linux find, it seems that it would be .//////A, but in the fiend solution it is ./////A. We can also see this by doing /c/cs323/Hwk1/fiend ./ vs find ./
