import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class MyAppTest {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		//initialize web driver
		System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/usr/local/bin/chromedriver");
		WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
		
		try {
			driver.get("https://www.tutorialkart.com/");
			//click on Java link
			WebElement tutorialLink = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href=\"/java/\"]"));
			//check if Java link is displayed
			boolean isTutorialLinkDisplayed = tutorialLink.isDisplayed();
			
			if (isTutorialLinkDisplayed) {
				System.out.println("The link is displayed.");
			} else {
				System.out.println("The link is not displayed.");
			}
		} finally {
			driver.quit();
		}
	}
}
