Below programs will illustrate the use of the getName() function:
Example 1: We are given a file object of a file, we have to get the Name of the file object.
// Java program to demonstrate the// use of getName() function  import java.io.*;  public class solution {    public static void main(String args[])    {          // try-catch block to handle exceptions        try {              // Create a file object            File f = new File("c:\\users\\program.txt");              // Get the Name of the given file f            String Name = f.getName();              // Display the file Name of the file object            System.out.println("File Name : " + Name);        }        catch (Exception e) {            System.err.println(e.getMessage());        }    }} |
Output:
File Name : program.txt
Example 2: We are given a file object of a directory, we have to get the Name of the file object.
// Java program to demonstrate the// use of getName() function  import java.io.*;  public class solution {    public static void main(String args[])    {        // try-catch block to handle exceptions        try {              // Create a file object            File f                = new File("c:\\users\\program");              // Get the Name of the given file f            String Name = f.getName();              // Display the file Name            // of the file object            System.out.println("File Name : "                               + Name);        }        catch (Exception e) {            System.err.println(e.getMessage());        }    }} |
