Chapter 7, Problem 1RE

Explanation of Solution

Action happened when the user tries to open a file for reading that doesn’t exist:

  • A “FileNotFoundException” would be thrown if the file could not be opened because, there is already a folder named which was given by the user.
    • This exception can be thrown when an application tries to open a file for writing, but that file only for read, or the permissions of the file don’t allow the file to be read by any application.

Therefore, Java will throw a “FileNotFoundException” when the user opens a file for reading which doesn’t exist.

Explanation of Solution

Action happened when the user tries to open a file for writing that doesn’t exist:

  • The “PrintWriter” class helps to create the object for “PrintWriter” for text file creation and data can be written into that text file.
  • If the output file already exists, it is emptied before the new data are written into it.

Therefore, Java will create a new empty file when the user opens a file for writing which doesn’t exist.
