Manipulating a file is a common task in programming. Java makes this easy by providing many useful tools. Through the use of these tools, you can can easily create a new empty file. Now for this task, we have used the method createNewFile() of boolean type which creates a new empty file if and only if a file with this name does not yet exist.

public class FileCreate {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		File file = new File("C:/newfile.txt");
		if (file.exists()) {
			System.out.println("File already exists");
		} else {
			file.createNewFile();
			System.out.println("File is created");
		}
	}
}
