Here’s the translation of the Go code to Java, with explanations in Markdown format suitable for Hugo:
Our first program will work with directories in the file system. Here’s the full source code:
This Java program demonstrates various operations with directories:
It creates a new directory.
It creates a hierarchy of directories.
It creates empty files in these directories.
It lists the contents of directories.
It changes the current working directory.
It walks through a directory tree recursively.
Finally, it cleans up by deleting the created directory and its contents.
To run this program, save it as Directories.java, compile it with javac Directories.java, and then run it with java Directories.
Note that Java’s file operations are more verbose than Go’s, and error handling is done through exceptions rather than returned error values. Also, Java doesn’t have a direct equivalent to Go’s defer keyword, so we use a try-finally block to ensure cleanup.
The output will be similar to the Go program, showing the created directory structure and the results of directory traversal.
