Description of code:
Manipulating a file is a common task in programming. Java makes this easy by providing many useful tools. Through the use of these tools, you can can easily create a new empty file. Now for this task, we have used the method createNewFile() of boolean type which creates a new empty file if and only if a file with this name does not yet exist.
createNewFile(): This method of File class creates an empty file at the specified file location if a file with this name does not exist.
exists(): This method of File class checks whether the given file exists or not.
Here is the code:
import java.io.*; public class FileCreate { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File file = new File("C:/newfile.txt"); if (file.exists()) { System.out.println("File already exists"); } else { file.createNewFile(); System.out.println("File is created"); } } }
Through the method createNewFile(), you can create a file.
Output:
File is created |
