Learn Introduction | Java File I/O Essentials

When you write a program, you often need to work with data that lives outside your code. File input and output—commonly called file I/O—refers to the process of reading data from files and writing data to files on your computer’s storage. File I/O is a fundamental skill in programming because it allows your applications to save information, load settings, process large datasets, and interact with users through files. Some common reasons you might use file I/O include:

Saving user progress in a game;
Reading configuration files to customize how your program runs;
Logging information for debugging;
Processing data from spreadsheets and text files.

public class FileIOIntro {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Starting file operations...");
    }
}

Mastering file I/O is essential for building real-world Java applications. Whether you are creating a tool that analyzes data, an app that remembers user settings, or a system that logs important events, file I/O gives your programs the power to interact with the outside world. By the end of this course, you will know how to read from and write to files using Java, handle different file types, and manage common file-related challenges.
