Unit 1-Java Fundamentals

This document discusses Java I/O streaming, including input streams, output streams, and filter streams. Input streams read data from sources using methods like read(), while output streams write data using methods like write(). Filter streams can modify the data as it is read from or written to underlying input/output streams, providing additional functionality. Common stream classes include FileInputStream, FileOutputStream, and DataOutputStream.

UNIT 1-JAVA FUNDAMENTALS

Java I/O streaming – filter and pipe


streams – Byte Code interpretation -
Threading – Swing
JAVA I/O STREAMING
• I/O in Java is built on streams
• Input streams read data. Output streams write data.
Different fundamental stream classes such as
java.io.FileInputStream and sun.net.TelnetOutputStream
read and write particular sources of data.
• output streams have the same basic methods to write data
• input streams use the same basic methods to read data
• Filter streams can be chained to either an input stream or an
output stream
• Filters can modify the data as it's read or written
• It provides additional methods for converting the data that's
read or written into other formats
java.io.DataOutputStream- converts an int to four bytes and writes those
bytes onto its underlying output stream.
Output Streams
• Java's basic output class is java.io.OutputStream
• This class provides the fundamental methods
– public abstract void write(int b) throws IOException
– public void write(byte[] data) throws IOException
– public void write(byte[] data, int offset, int length) throws IOException
– public void flush( ) throws IOException
– public void close( ) throws IOException
• Subclasses of OutputStream use these methods to write data
onto particular media
Example:
• FileOutputStream uses these methods to write data into a file
• TelnetOutputStream uses these methods to write data onto a network
connection
• ByteArrayOutputStream uses these methods to write data into an
expandable byte array
• OutputStream's fundamental method is write(int b)
• This method takes as an argument an integer from to 255 and
writes the corresponding byte to the output stream
Input Streams
• Java's basic input class is java.io.InputStream
• This class provides the fundamental methods needed to read
data as raw bytes
– public abstract int read( ) throws IOException
– public int read(byte[] input) throws IOException
– public int read(byte[] input, int offset, int length) throws IOException
– public long skip(long n) throws IOException
– public int available( ) throws IOException
– public void close( ) throws IOException
• subclasses of InputStream use these methods to read data
from particular media
Example:
• FileInputStream reads data from a file
• TelnetInputStream reads data from a network connection
• ByteArrayInputStream reads data from an array of bytes
• The basic method of InputStream is read( ) method
• This method reads a single byte of data from the input
stream's source and returns it as a number from to 255
• The following code fragment reads 10 bytes from the
InputStream in and stores them in the byte array input
byte[] input = new byte[10];
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++)
{
int b = in.read( );
if (b == -1)
break;
input[i] = (byte) b;
}
Filter Streams
• InputStream and OutputStream are fairly raw classes. They
allow you to read and write bytes, either singly or in groups
• The filters come in two versions
– the filter streams and
– the readers and writers
The flow of data through a chain of filters
