Find can find stuff based on permissions or other variables and interact with files, like delete etc

Locate is just a database of filenames

Grep. Couldn’t live without find exec grep.

You rarely need find with grep if you man grep. Grep does it all.

Grep is going to find all .java files in /home/user/workspace? And then conditionally search them? Not so sure about that.

grep -R --include=\*.java "pattern" /home/user/workspace
