File Operations

File operations in Java refer to the process of reading from, writing to, or manipulating files and directories within a file system. These tasks are primarily handled through the java.io and java.nio.file packages, which provide classes such as File, Path, Files, and BufferedReader. Developers utilize these tools to create new files, modify existing content, delete data, and manage file metadata. These capabilities allow programs to persist data across application sessions and interact with the underlying storage of the host operating system.
