Code:
package com.java2novice.files;

import java.io.File;

public class MyFileOperations {

	public static void main(String[] a){
		
		try{
			File file = new File("fileName");
			//Tests whether the application can read the file 
			System.out.println(file.canRead());
			//Tests whether the application can modify the file
			System.out.println(file.canWrite());
			//Tests whether the application can modify the file 
			System.out.println(file.createNewFile());
			//Deletes the file or directory
			System.out.println(file.delete());
			//Tests whether the file or directory exists.
			System.out.println(file.exists());
			//Returns the absolute pathname string.
			System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());
			//Tests whether the file is a directory or not.
			System.out.println(file.isDirectory());
			//Tests whether the file is a hidden file or not.
			System.out.println(file.isHidden());
			//Returns an array of strings naming the 
			//files and directories in the directory.
			System.out.println(file.list());
