Creating Directories in Java

In Java, creating a directory (folder) is a straightforward process. Suppose you have already obtained the user's home directory using System.getProperty("user.home"). To check if a directory with the name "new folder" exists and create it if it doesn't, follow these steps:

1. Use the new File("/path/directory") syntax to define the path to the directory you want to create. Replace "/path" with the path to your desired location. In this case, we assume you want to create the directory in the user's home directory. Thus, the path would be "/path/new folder".
2. Utilize the mkdirs() method on the created File object. This method creates both the specified directory and any necessary parent directories if they don't already exist. In our case, it checks for the existence of "new folder" and creates it if it doesn't exist.
3. The combined code snippet for this process would be:

new File("/path/directory").mkdirs();

Remember to replace "/path/directory" with the actual path where you want to create the directory.
