// Java program to demonstrate // getTotalSpace() method of File Class import java.io.*; public class solution { public static void main(String args[]) { // Create an abstract pathname (File object) File f = new File( "F:\\program.txt" ); // Display the Total size of the partition // using the getTotalSpace() function System.out.println( "Total Space: " + f.getTotalSpace()); } } |
Output:
Total Space: 355947507712
Example 2: The file “F:\\program1.txt” does not exist file in F: Directory .
// Java program to demonstrate // getTotalSpace() method of File Class import java.io.*; public class solution { public static void main(String args[]) { // Create an abstract pathname (File object) File f = new File( "F:\\program1.txt" ); // Display the Total size of the partition // using the getTotalSpace() function System.out.println( "Total Space: " + f.getTotalSpace()); } } |
Output:
Total Space: 0
