What is Java input and output stream?

Java I/O

Java I/O (Input and Output) is used to process the input and produce the output.Java uses the concept of a stream to make I/O operation fast.

The java.io package contains all the sessions required for feedback and outcome functions.


Stream

A stream is a sequence of data.A stream is an abstract representation of an input and output device used to read and write data.Stream differentiate in two way in java.

1 Text stream: Its containing ‘characters’

2 Binary stream:- Its containing 8-bit information’01101001’

In java, these streams are created automatically.Therse Streams are attached with the console.

1)System.in: standard input stream

2) System. Out: standard output stream

3) System. Err: standard error stream

System.in: This is the standard input stream that is used to read characters from the keyboard or any other standard input device.

example:- Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);


System. Out: This is the standard output stream that is used to produce the result of a program on an output device like the computer screen.

example:- System.out.print(" First Name: ");

System.out.println("First Name:");


System. Err: This is the standard output stream that is used to output all the error data a program might throw, on a computer screen or any standard output device.


InputStream

Java program uses a port circulation to read information from a source, it may be

knowledge file,an range,peripheral system or outlet.


OutputStream

Java program uses an outcome circulation to write information to a location, it may be a knowledge file,an range,peripheral system or outlet.


Java File Input stream

This stream is used for reading data from the files. Objects can be created using the keyword new.

Example:- FileInputStreamfin = newFileInputStream("D:\\abc.txt");Methods


Methods

Description

​read()

Used for reading bytes from a file

available()

​It is used for getting the number of available bytes that can be used.

skip()

Used to skip or discard a specified number of bytes.

close()

It is used to close the file input stream.

finalize()

It ensures that the close method is called.

getFD()

It is used to return the description of the file from the input stream.

Java File Output Stream

FileOutputStream is used to create a file and write data into it file. The stream would create a file, if it doesn't already exist, before opening it for output.

Example:- OutputStreamf = newFileoutputStream("D:\\abc.txt");

Method

Description

void finalize()

It is used to clean up the connection with the file output stream.

void Write(int W)

This methods writes the specified byte to the output stream.

void write(byte[] ary)

It is used to write ary.length bytes from the byte array to the file output stream.

void close()

It is used to closes the file output stream.
