What are File and RandomAccessFile classes?..

Answer / ranganathkini

The java.io.File is represents a filepath and provides
methods to access filesystem services in the Java
application. Services such as creating folders, verifying
the existance or permissions of a file, etc.

The java.io.RandomAccessFile is a class that allows random
record based access to data stored in a file. This class
helps in creating and manipulating files in a record based
way unlike a sequential access provided by streams.
