Do I still need to check for File.exists if I already check for File.isFile

Currently, to check for a file whether exists, I use

if (file.isFile())

It works so far.

I was wondering, is there any edge case, which I should check the file existence by using

if (file.isFile() && file.exists())

You usually don't need either of them, e.g. If you're about to open a file. – user207421 Sep 17 '16 at 00:04
