Last update on April 28 2025 07:43:19 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Java program to get the file size in bytes, KB, MB.

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.io.File;
 
public class Exercise9 {
 
      public static void main(String[] args) 
      {
        File file = new File("/home/students/test.txt");
        if(file.exists())
        {
        System.out.println(filesize_in_Bytes(file));
        System.out.println(filesize_in_kiloBytes(file));
        System.out.println(filesize_in_megaBytes(file));
        }
        else 
        System.out.println("File doesn't exist");
         
    }
 
    private static String filesize_in_megaBytes(File file) {
        return (double) file.length()/(1024*1024)+" mb";
    }
 
    private static String filesize_in_kiloBytes(File file) {
        return (double) file.length()/1024+"  kb";
    }
 
    private static String filesize_in_Bytes(File file) {
        return file.length()+" bytes";
    }
 }
 

Sample Output:

151 bytes                                                                                                 
0.1474609375  kb                                                                                              
1.4400482177734375E-4 mb
