managing input/output files in java

The document provides an overview of managing input/output files in Java, detailing methods for file handling such as checking readability, writability, and existence of files. It introduces the concept of streams as fundamental units for I/O operations, distinguishing between byte streams and character streams. Additionally, it lists various input and output stream classes used for reading and writing data in Java.

Why File Handling is
required?
 File handling is an integral part of any programming language as file handling
enables us to store the output of any particular program in a file and allows us to
perform certain operations on it.
 In simple words, file handling means reading and writing data to a file.

 In java, the concept Stream is used in order to perform I/O operations on a file.
Introduction & Concept of
Streams.
 Stream represents the sequence of data flowing from source to a
destination.
 Streams are the fundamental units for input and output operations in Java.
 A stream can be classified as-
 Byte Streams : handles raw bytes of data.
i. Input Stream (for reading)
ii. Output Stream (for writing)
 character Stream : handles characters (text data).
i. Reader (for reading)
ii. Writer (for writing)
Overview of Byte stream
classes:
I. InputStream (abstract class):
•The superclass for all input byte streams.
•It provides methods for reading raw bytes of data.

II. OutputStream (abstract class):


•The superclass for all output byte streams.
•It provides method for writing raw bytes of data.
Input stream classes
 The input stream is used to read data from numerous input devices like
keyboard, network, etc.
 InputStream is an abstract class, and because of this, it is not useful by itself.

 However, its subclasses are used to read data.

 There are several subclasses of InputStream class-

i. AudioInputStream
ii. ByteArrayInputStream

iii. FileInputStream

iv. StringBufferInputStream

v. ObjectInputStream
 Creating an InputStream-

InputStream obj = new FileInputStream();


Output stream classes
 OutputStream is an abstract class that provides a framework for creating output
streams to write byte data.
 Classes that extend OutputStream should provide implementations for the abstract
methods defined in the class.
 Subclasses: Includes,

i. FileOutputStream,
ii. ByteArrayOutputStream,
iii. FilterOutputStream,
iv. ObjectOutputStream,
v. PipedOutputStream
 Creating an OutputStream-

OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("output.txt");
