Question

The files provided in the code editor to the right contain syntax and/or logic errors. In each case, determine and fix the problem, remove all syntax and coding errors, and run the program to ensure it works properly.

Note: DebugDataOne1.txt and DebugDataOne2.txt do not need to be edited. They are used by the program.

import java.nio.file.*;
import java.nio.file.attribute.*;
import java.io.IOException;

public class DebugThirteen1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Path file1 = Paths.get("/root/sandbox/DebugDataOne1.txt"); // path to file DebugDataOne1.txt in your system
Path file2 = Paths.get("/root/sandbox/DebugDataOne2.txt"); // path to file DebugDataOne2.txt in your system
try {
BasicFileAttributes attr1 = Files.readAttributes(file1, BasicFileAttributes.class);
System.out.println("File: " + file1.getFileName());
System.out.println("Creation time " + attr1.creationTime());
System.out.println("Last modified time " + attr1.lastModifiedTime());
System.out.println("Size " + attr1.size());
BasicFileAttributes attr2 = Files.readAttributes(file2, BasicFileAttributes.class);
System.out.println("\nFile: " + file2.getFileName());
System.out.println("Creation time " + attr2.creationTime());
System.out.println("Last modified time " + attr2.lastModifiedTime());
System.out.println("Size " + attr2.size());
if (attr1.creationTime().compareTo(attr2.creationTime()) > 0)
System.out.println("\n" + file2.getFileName() + " was created earlier");
else
System.out.println("\n" + file1.getFileName() + " was created earlier");
if (attr1.size() > attr2.size())
System.out.println(file1.getFileName() + " is larger ");
else
System.out.println(file2.getFileName() + " is larger");
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("IOException");
}
}
}

Answer 1

the code has no error in particular. it ran successfully on my machine with the output:

i created the samples files in the same directory as the code and modified the path accordingly. However, it may not run for you and give an output -> "IOException"

you may have to modify the path (bolded ) according to your directory as well as your OS.

drop a comment if there is a problem. if you are not able to work it out, put the file paths in the comment as well and I will edit the code
