To get the **Last Modified Time** of a file, we can use the `lastModified` method of the `File` class present in the `java.io` package.
# 
## Syntax 

```java
public long lastModified()
```
## Parameters

This method doesn't take any argument. 

## Return value

This method returns the last modified time as a long value.

# Code example

The below code demonstrates how to use the `lastModified` method to get the last modified time of a file.

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

class FileLastModifiedTime {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // File path
    String filePath = "test.txt";
    // create a File object 
    File file = new File(filePath);
    // get lastModified time 
    Long lastModified = file.lastModified();
    System.out.println("Last modifiedTime is: " + new Date(lastModified));
  }
}

## Explanation

In the above code:

* In lines 1 and 2: Imported the `Files` and `Date` classes.

* In line 7: Created a `String` variable holding the path of the file as value (we have a `test.txt` file present in the same folder in which the program is executing).

* In line 9: We have created a `File` object for the `filePath`.

* In line 11:*Used the `lastModified` method to get the last modified time of the file. This will return the time in milliseconds.

* In line 12: Created a new `Date` object from the last modified time of the file and printed it.
