Example usage:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

// Example of creating a File object and checking its properties
public class FileExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        File file = new File("my_file.txt");

        try {
            // Create a new file if it does not exist
            if (file.createNewFile()) {
                System.out.println("File created: " + file.getName());
            } else {
                System.out.println("File already exists.");
            }

            // Output file information
            System.out.println("Absolute path: " + file.getAbsolutePath());
            System.out.println("Parent directory: " + file.getParent());
            System.out.println("Is a file: " + file.isFile());
            System.out.println("Is a directory: " + file.isDirectory());
            System.out.println("File size in bytes: " + file.length());
            System.out.println("Can read: " + file.canRead());
            System.out.println("Can write: " + file.canWrite());

            // Delete the file
            // if (file.delete()) {
            //     System.out.println("File deleted successfully.");
            // } else {
            //     System.out.println("Failed to delete the file.");
            // }

        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("An error occurred.");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
