Why do I get the error "File cannot be resolved to a type"?

Question

Here's part of my code

try{

    BufferedReader in= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

    while ((line= in.readLine())!="exit"){

    System.out.println("Enter command");
    line=in.readLine();
    Command currentCommand=new Command(line);



    File currentFile= new File(currentCommand.getLsPath());

The method currentCommand.getLsPath() returns a string, which is mendatory for the File Constracture, and still I get this error: File cannot be resolved to a type

What is the problem?

Answer 1

Chances are you've just missed:

import java.io.File;

from the top of your source file.

You could use

 import java.io.*; 

I typically use single-type imports.

Answer 2

You need to include either

import java.io.File;

or

import java.io.*;

at the top of your source file.
