How to get Current Directory through File

[Java Tip]

Current directory of the given file can be extracted through the getCanonicalPath() method of the File class.

Code:

import java.io.File;
 public class CurrentDir {
   public static void main (String args[]) {
     File f1 = new File (".");
     
     File f2 = new File ("..");
     
        try {
       System.out.println ("Current directory : " + f1.getCanonicalPath());
       System.out.println ("Parent  directory : " + f2.getCanonicalPath());
       
       }
     catch(Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       }
     }
 }
