Input Output

- Java I/O allows processing of input and output through streams. The java.io package contains classes for input/output operations. - A stream is a sequence of bytes that flows like water. Java automatically creates 3 streams attached to the console for standard output, input, and error. - OutputStream is used to write data to destinations like files or sockets. InputStream reads data from sources. FileOutputStream extends OutputStream and is used to write data to files.

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 classes required for input and
output operations.

 We can perform file handling in Java by Java I/O API.


Stream

 A stream is a sequence of data. In Java, a stream is composed of bytes.


It's called a stream because it is like a stream of water that continues to
flow.
 In Java, 3 streams are created for us automatically. All these streams are
attached with the console.
 1) System.out: standard output stream
 2) System.in: standard input stream
 3) System.err: standard error stream
OutputStream vs InputStream

 OutputStream

Java application uses an output stream to write data to a


destination; it may be a file, an array, peripheral device or
socket.

InputStream

 Java application uses an input stream to read data from a


source; it may be a file, an array, peripheral device or socket.
OutputStream class

OutputStream class is an abstract class. It is the


superclass of all classes representing an output
stream of bytes. An output stream accepts output
bytes and sends them to some sink.
Useful methods of OutputStream

Method Description

1) public void write(int)throws is used to write a byte to the current


IOException output stream.

2) public void write(byte[])throws is used to write an array of byte to the


IOException current output stream.

3) public void flush()throws


flushes the current output stream.
IOException

4) public void close()throws is used to close the current output


IOException stream.
InputStream class

 InputStream class is an abstract class. It is the superclass


of all classes representing an input stream of bytes.
Useful methods of InputStream

Method Description

reads the next byte of data from the


1) public abstract int read()throws
input stream. It returns -1 at the end of
IOException
the file.

returns an estimate of the number of


2) public int available()throws
bytes that can be read from the current
IOException
input stream.

3) public void close()throws is used to close the current input


IOException stream.
Java FileOutputStream Class

 Java FileOutputStream is an output stream used for


writing data to a file.
FileOutputStream class declaration

 public class FileOutputStream extends OutputStream  
Example

import java.io.FileOutputStream; 
 public class FileOutputStreamExample 
{ 
     public static void main(String args[])
{ try
{
FileOutputStream fout=new FileOutputStream("D:\\testout.txt");         
      
  fout.write(65);              
 fout.close();           
      System.out.println("success..."); 
               }
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
} 
         } 
   }
