File handling in Java

Lesson 2 of 11 in Coddy's File Handling in Java course.

In Java, you can handle files using the File class located in the java.io package:

import java.io.File;

To start handling a file, specify the file name or path to create a File object:

File dataFile = new File("data.txt");

Now, you can start making operations on dataFile! (We will see later on…)

Challenge

Easy

In the main method, create a File object with the file named "coddy.txt"

Try it yourself

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Write code here
        
        // Don't change below this line
        System.out.println("Done");
    }
}
