In this task, the job is to verify that a file called "input.txt" exists or not and that the directory "docs" exists or not. Assuming current directory or fullpath. Either "/input.txt" or "c:\\input.txt" for the former and "/docs/" or "c:\\docs\" for the second test.


Java

public class FileTest {
   public static boolean isFileExist(String filename) {
       boolean exists = new File(filename).exists();
       return exists;
   }
   public static void test(String type, String filename) {
       System.out.println("The following " + type + " called " + filename + 
           (isFileExist(filename) ? " exists." : " not exists.")
       );
   }
   public static void main(String args[]) {
        test("file", "input.txt");
        if(File.seperatorChar == '/')
            test("file", "/input.txt");
        else
            test("file", "c:\\input.txt");
        test("directory", "docs");
        if(File.seperatorChar == '/')
            test("directory", "/docs/");
        else
            test("directory", "c:\\docs\\");
   }
