# File

The `File` class is designed to handle file-related operations, providing methods for managing file properties and interactions.

### Constructor

#### `constructor(filePath: String)`

Creates an instance of the `File` class representing a specific file path.

* `filePath` (String): The file path for which the `File` instance is created.

### Methods

* **getAbsolutePath(): String**

Retrieves the absolute path of the file, including the file's name.

```java
var absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
```

* **exists(): Boolean**

Checks if the file exists and returns true if it exists, otherwise false.

```java
var fileExists = file.exists();
```

* **isFile(): Boolean**

Determines whether the object represents a file (as opposed to a directory) and returns true for a file, false otherwise.

```java
var isFile = file.isFile();
```

* **isDirectory(): Boolean**

Determines whether the object represents a directory and returns true for a directory, false otherwise.

```java
var isDirectory = file.isDirectory();
```

* **lastModified(): Long**

Gets the timestamp indicating the last modification time of the file, typically in milliseconds since the epoch. The return type is "Long."

```java
var lastModified = file.lastModified();
```

* **delete(): Boolean**

Attempts to delete the file and returns true if the deletion was successful, and false if it failed.

```java
var deletionSuccessful = file.delete();
```

* **getName(): String**

Retrieves the name of the file (without the path) as a string.

```java
var fileName = file.getName();
```

* **getParent(): String**

Gets the parent directory's path as a string.

```java
var parentDirectory = file.getParent();
```

* **getParentFile(): File**

Returns a new File object representing the parent directory of the current file.

```java
var parentDirectoryFile = file.getParentFile();
```

* **getPath(): String**

Retrieves the path of the file (including its name) as a string.

```java
var filePathString = file.getPath();
```
