Exceptions

Checked exceptions in Java are exceptions verified at compile time. They

represent conditions that applications should catch, ensuring they are
either handled in the code or declared by any method that might throw
them.

Usually throws an exception if the compiler can’t find the necessary

packages and classes in the program.

To create a path, the File class is used, along with its methods such as exists() and
mkdirs().

 Hierarchy of Storing
Data
Character: The smallest unit of data, like a single letter, number, or symbol.

Field: A group of characters that represent a single piece of information. For example, your first name would be a
field.

Record: A collection of fields representing one complete set of information. For example, all the complete details
about one customer (name, age, address) make up a record.

Files: A bunch of records stored together. For example, a file might have records of all customers.

Types of File
Access
Sequential Access File
• This type of file stores records one after another, in order.

Random Access File

• allows you to read from and write to any part of a file at any time

• This means you can "jump" to different parts of the file, which makes it useful for situations where you need to
frequently read, update, or modify data without reading the entire file.
 Creating a
File
The same with creating a path, creating a file uses
the File class. The method .createNewFile() will be
used.

your program. between your program and a file. Buffers help optimize

reading a file).
• Output Stream: Data flows out of your program (e.g.,
saving data to a file).
• One-Way Traffic: Most streams work in one direction,
like one-way roads—you either read data from them or
write data to them, but not at the same time.

A Random Access File allows you to read from

In Java, the RandomAccessFile class provides

this functionality, allowing random access to
