Study Notes

Module III: Input/Output

Java's I/O system (input/output) is supported by the java.io package, encompassing file I/O.
Streams are used to facilitate I/O operations in Java, enabling faster processing. Streams represent a sequence of data.
Java uses streams to manage input and output operations.
The java.io package provides classes that support input and output operations.

The Stream Classes

Java's stream-based I/O is grounded in four abstract classes:
- InputStream: designed for byte streams.
- OutputStream: designed for byte streams.
- Reader: designed for character streams.
- Writer: designed for character streams.
Byte streams and character streams form separate hierarchies.
Character streams are used for working with characters or strings.
Byte streams are used for working with bytes or binary objects.

File and Directory Management

The java.io package supplies the File class for file and directory management.
File enables creating new files/folders, viewing properties, renaming, and deleting files/folders.
import java.io.* is necessary to use File class.
File class offers constructors for creating File objects from different inputs:
- File(String directoryPath)
- File(String directoryPath, String fileName)
- File(File dirObj, String fileName)
- File(URI uriObj)

Creating Files and Folders

createNewFile() creates an empty file.
mkdir() creates a directory.

Java FILE Class Methods

canRead(): checks if a file is readable.
canWrite(): checks if a file is writable.
createNewFile(): creates a file.
delete(): deletes a file.
exists(): checks if a file/directory exists.
getName(): returns the file's name.
getAbsolutePath(): returns the absolute path.
length(): returns file size in bytes.
list(): returns an array of files within a directory.
mkdir(): creates a directory.

Accessing File Properties (Methods)

toString(): returns a string representation of the File.
getName(): returns the file's or directory's name.
getPath(): returns the path of the file.
getAbsolutePath(): returns the absolute path.
getParent(): returns the parent directory's path.
exists(): checks if the file exists.
canWrite(): checks if the file can be written to.
canRead(): checks if the file can be read from.
isDirectory(): checks if the given path is a directory.
isFile(): checks if the given path is a file.
isAbsolute(): checks if the path is absolute.
isHidden(): checks if the file is hidden.

Renaming and Deleting Files

renameTo(File newFile) renames the file.
delete() deletes a file.
deleteOnExit() schedules a file's deletion.

Types of Streams

Byte Stream: Deals with input and output of bytes (8 bits). Used for binary data.
Character Stream: Handles input and output of characters (16 bits). Efficient for text data.

Byte Stream Classes

InputStream: Abstract base class for input byte streams.
OutputStream: Abstract base class for output byte streams.
FileInputStream: Reads from a file.
FileOutputStream: Writes to a file.
BufferedInputStream/BufferedOutputStream: Provide buffering for input/output.
DataInputStream/DataOutputStream: For reading/writing primitive data types.

Character Stream Classes

Reader: Abstract base class for character input.
Writer: Abstract base class for character output.
FileReader: Reads from a file.
FileWriter: Writes to a file.
BufferedReader/BufferedWriter: Provide buffering for character input/output.
PrintWriter: Designed for formatted printing.

File Input/Output Stream Methods

available(): Returns the estimated number of data bytes that are available in input stream.
read(): Reads one byte from an input stream.
read(byte[] b) reads bytes from stream to the array b.
read(byte[] b, int off, int len) reads len bytes from offset off to b.
skip(long n) skips over n bytes of input stream.
close(): Closes the stream.
write(byte[] b) writes bytes from b to an output stream.
write(byte[] b, int off, int len) writes from bytes in b starting from offset off for len bytes.
write(int b) writes a single byte b to the output stream.
close(): Closes the output stream.

Reading/Writing Data from/to Files using Different Streams

Methods for reading and writing data to files using various streams like FileInputStream, FileOutputStream, FileReader, FileWriter. Illustrates buffering techniques.

Reading Console Input

Scanner: Converts byte stream to character stream, enabling convenient input of various datatypes (int, byte, long, short, float, double, boolean).
BufferedReader: Used with InputStreamReader(System.in). Reads input from the command line.

Writing Console Output

Methods for writing output to the console (print, println, write).
PrintWriter is a recommended class for formatting output to the console.

Serialization

Serialization is the process of converting the state of an object into a byte stream.
writeObject() method ( ObjectOutputStream) serializes objects.
readObject() method ( ObjectInputStream) deserializes objects.
Serializable interface must be implemented for objects to be serializable.

Packages in Java

Packages group similar classes for organization.
Built-in packages provide core functionalities.
package statement defines packages.
import statement imports packages.

Access Protection

Packages define access levels (public, protected, default, private).
Access specifiers control code visibility and access.
