How to find the user's home directory in Java?

You can find the user's home directory in Java using the System.getProperty() method with the "user.home" system property. Here's how you can do it:

public class HomeDirectoryExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String userHome = System.getProperty("user.home");
        System.out.println("User's Home Directory: " + userHome);
    }
}

When you run this code, it will print the path to the user's home directory, which typically looks something like /Users/username on Unix-based systems or C:\Users\username on Windows systems, where username is the name of the current user.

The "user.home" system property provides a cross-platform way to access the user's home directory, making it a useful way to retrieve this information in Java.
