Check spelling of 'fileList' and 'filelist'
Also there should be:

main(String[] a)

You will get nullpointer exception

Answer 5

list() can return null if the path in File() does not exist

import java.io.File;
import java.util.Date;

public class Program {
public static void main(String[] a) {
File file = new File("/home/students") ;
String[] fileList = file.list();
System.out.println( fileList); //

if (fileList != null) {
for( String name: fileList){
System.out.println(name);
}
}
}
}

Answer 6

Take care about path of your file relatively to project folder.
