2. Paths and Path classes

• A static method of the Paths class

  
      Path get( String[, String]... )
  
  

• For example,

  
      Path filePath = Paths.get( "C:\\example\\Data.txt" );
  
  

• Methods of the Path interface

  
         Path getFileName()  // name of the file or directory
         Path getName(int)   // specific element of the path
         Path getName()      // last element of the path
          int getNameCount() // how many elements present
         Path getParent()    // for example, the parent of "/a/b/c" is "/a/b"
         Path getRoot()
         Path toAbsolutePath() // relative to absolute path
         File toFile()
       String toString       // the path
      boolean exists()       // true if path does exist
      boolean notExists()    // true if path does not exist
         void delete()       // deletes path, throws exception if no such path exists
         void deleteIfExists() // deletes path if it does exist
