I am reading Bill Brogden's book today if u haven't guessed already. Here is another question:

I thought when u use File(String path), no file is actually created, right? But he gives a method called
boolean createFile() which creates a file if it doesn't exist.

WOuld appreciate if anybody could clarify this.

Thanks in advance,

There is an instance method createNewFile in File class , which creates a new file specified by the abstract path, if the file does not already exist.

Whenever you get doubts like this you first refer to Java Doc. Most of the time you get the answers.
