Creating a New File Object
The File class provides several utilities:
• File myFile;
• myFile = new File("myfile.txt");
• myFile = new File("MyDocs", "myfile.txt");
Directories are treated just like files in Java; the File class
supports methods for retrieving an array of files in the
directory, as follows:
File myDir = new File("MyDocs");
myFile = new File(myDir, "myfile.txt");
