When working with strings, we may need to concatenate or join multiple strings together. Python provides several methods to perform the concatenation of strings. Following are various ways to print concatenated strings using a single statement. Using the "+" Operator Using f-string Using format() Method Using join() Method Using print() with Multiple Arguments Using List or Tuple Unpacking Using map() with str Using the "+" Operator The "+" operator is the simplest and most direct way to concatenate two or more strings in Python. It joins the strings end-to-end. Here's an example of using the + operator - ... Read More

Printing a String Twice Using Multiplication When we are developing Python, we may want to repeat or duplicate a string for display or formatting purposes. In such cases, Python provides several ways to print a string in defined number of times with a single statement. There are different ways to print a string twice with a single statement in Python. They are - Using Multiplication Operator Using the Concatenation Operator Using the format() Method Using f-string Using join() ... Read More

The flush() method of the FileWriter class flushes the contents of the file. You can use this method to truncate a file.Exampleimport java.io.File; import java.io.FileWriter; public class FileTruncate {    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {       File file = new File("myData");       FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file, false);       fw.flush();       System.out.println("File truncated");    } }OutputFile truncated

You can access a plain text using the File class.ExampleLive Demoimport java.io.File; public class ReadFile {    public static void main(String[] args) {       File f = null;       String str = "data.txt";       try {          f = new File(str);          boolean bool = f.canExecute();          String a = f.getAbsolutePath();          System.out.print(a);          System.out.println(" is executable: "+ bool);       } catch (Exception e) {          e.printStackTrace();       }    } }Output C:\Users\data is executable: true

You can create a PDF file using the PDF Box library. You can set the environment for pdf box by following Pdf Box Environment Tutorial. Example import java.io.IOException; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage; public class CreatingEmptyPdf { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { PDDocument document = new PDDocument(); document.addPage(new PDPage()); document.save("C:/pdfBox/BlankPdf.pdf"); System.out.println("PDF created"); document.close(); } } Output PDF created

File class provides various methods to perform respective file operations.canRead(): This method tests whether the application can read the file denoted by this abstract pathname. It returns true if and only if the file specified by this abstract pathname exists and can be read by the application; false otherwise.canWrite(): This method tests whether the application can modify the file denoted by this abstract pathname. It returns true if and only if the file system actually contains a file denoted by this abstract pathname and the application is allowed to write to the file; false otherwise.createNewFile(): This method atomically creates a ...

You can sort an array using sort() method of the Arrays class.ExampleLive Demoimport java.util.Arrays; public class MainClass {    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {       int array[] = { 2, 5, -2, 6, -3, 8, 0, -7, -9, 4 };       Arrays.sort(array);       printArray("Sorted array", array);       int index = Arrays.binarySearch(array, 1);       System.out.println("Didn't find 1 @ " + index);       int newIndex = -index - 1;       array = insertElement(array, 1, newIndex);       printArray("With 1 added", array);    }   ...

You can get the size of a directory with the help of FileUtils.sizeofDirectory(File Name) method of FileUtils class.Exampleimport java.io.File; import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils; public class Main {    public static void main(String[] args) {       long size = FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory(new File("C:/Windows"));       System.out.println("Size: " + size + " bytes");    } }OutputSize: 2048 bytes

Following example shows the way to look for a particular file in a directory by creating a File filter. Following example displays all the files having file names beginning with 'b'.ExampleLive Demoimport java.io.*; public class Main {    public static void main(String[] args) {       File dir = new File("C:");             FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {          public boolean accept (File dir, String name) {             return name.startsWith("b");          }       };       String[] children = ...
