The FilenameFilter interface is used to filter filenames, primarily for directory listings and file dialog components.
Classes implementing this interface must provide an accept method to determine if a given file should be included in a list, based on its directory and name.
The accept method returns true if the file should be included and false otherwise.

Its core function is the `accept` method, which takes a directory (`File` dir) and a filename (`String` name) as input. `accept` determines if a file should be included in a list by returning `true` or `false`. This filtering is applied when listing files in a directory using the `File.list` method.\n"]]
