Below programs will illustrate the use of the getPath() function:
Example 1: We are given a file object of a file, we have to get the path of the file object.
// Java program to demonstrate the// use of getPath() 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 path of the given file f            String path = f.getPath();              // Display the file path of the file object            System.out.println("File path : " + path);        }        catch (Exception e) {            System.err.println(e.getMessage());        }    }} |
Output:
File path : c:\users\program.txt
Example 2: We are given a file object of a directory, we have to get the path of the file object.
// Java program to demonstrate the// use of getPath() 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 path of the given file f            String path = f.getPath();              // Display the file path of the file object            System.out.println("File path : " + path);        }        catch (Exception e) {            System.err.println(e.getMessage());        }    }} |
Output:
File path : c:\users\program
The programs might not run in an online IDE. please use an offline IDE and set the path of the file
