Exception Handling, Java collection 1.

Compilers less than Java 7 uses static methods on File to create files and directories. True or false

false. Compilers <Java 7 uses instance methods on File to create files and directories. e.g. File f = new File("C:\\a\\b\\Log.txt"); f.mkdirs(); f..createNewFile();

Console is located in java.lang.console true or false

false. Console is located in java.io.Console

In File class flush() frees up expensive operating system resources. True or false

false. It guarantees last data gets written to disk. close() frees up expensive operating system resources.

Java 7 Compilers use instance methods in Paths to create files and directories. True or false

false. Java 7 Compilers use static methods in Paths to create files and directories.

Path and Paths contain only static methods true or false?

false. Path is an interface.

import java.io.File; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io. PrintWriter; class A { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File f = new File("C:\\a\\myFile.txt"); FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f); PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter( fw); pw.println("c"); pw.println("d"); pw.flush(); pw.close(); } } where myFile.txt has two lines contatining "a b" on separate lines. When the above code executes c and d get appended to the file resulting in "a b c d" each on separate lines. True or false

false. a and b get overwritten with c and d therefore output would be: c d

A(n) ____________________ object is an avenue for reading and writing a file.

file channel

the _____ holds the byte number of a location in the file

file pointer (721)

finally block

finally always runs after the try-catch block, regardless of what happens

the _____ is 1 or more statements that are always executed after the try block has executed and after any catch blocks have executed if an exception was thrown

finally block (698) ~the statements in the finally block execute whether an exception occurs or not

the try statement may have an optional _____ clause, which must appear after all of the catch clauses

finally clause (697) ~this is optional

FileWriter - BufferedWriter - PrintWriter all contain two common methods. Named them.

flush() and close() ----> flush(): guarantees that the last of the data gets written to disk. close(): Closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with it.

What method am I? guarantees that the last of the data gets written to disk.

flush() located in FileWriter - BufferedWriter - PrintWriter

catch clause

follows try block. Defines how to handle the exceptions.

This type of loop is ideal in situations where the exact number of iterations is known.

for loop

for loop

for(initialization; condition; iteration) statement; in the most common form of loops is the for loop. initialization sets a loop control variable to an initial value. The conditon is a Boolean expressoin that tests the loop control variable. If true, the for loop continues to iterate. If false, the loop terminates. Iteration - how the loop control variable is changed each time the loop iterates.

General form of the for

for(initialization; condition; iteration) statement; initialization is the assignment of value to a variable. Condtion to check for true or false Iteration - what to do if true

each exception object has a method named _____ that can be used to retrieve the *default error message* for the exception

getMessage (688) ~also used when the exception is not handled & the app halts

>=

greater than or equal to

to ____ an exception, you use a try statement

handle (684)

permanent storage device

hardware used to store files

languages that let you use an easily understood vocabruary of descriptive terms, as as "read," "write," or "add," are known as ________ languages.

high-level language

Throwing exceptions short hand

if (whatever) throw new MaxException("Something went wrong."); Note, you just need to throw an exception object, and that's why there's a new MaxException. You don't really need to assign a var/object to it.

FACT

if a class contains objects of other classes as fields, those classes must implement the *Serializable* interface, in order to be *serialized* (724)

WARNING

if the file that you are opening with the *FileOutputStream* object already exists, it will be erased & an empty file by the same name will be created (713)

FACT

if you do not pass a message to the constructor, the exception will have a *null* message (704)

FACT

if you pass the name of an existing file to the FileOutputStream constructor, it will be erased and a new empty file with the same name will be created (718)

General form of if statement

if(condition) statement;

examples of things stored in binary

images, music, or compiled program files with a .class extension (bytecode)

unchecked exception

requires no throws clause (Only unchecked exceptions in Java are objects of type RuntimeException or any of its descendants. All others are considered checked.)

the command to execute a compiled java application is _______

run

when the code in a method throws an exception, the normal execution of that method stops & the JVM _____ for a compatible exception handler inside the method

searches (702) ~if there is no code inside the method to handle the exception, then control of the program is passed to the previous method in the call stack [the method that called the offending method] ~if that method cannot handle the exception, then control is passed again, up the *call stack*, to the previous method. ~this continues until control reaches the *main method* ~if the main method does not handle the exception, then the program is halted and the default exception handler handles the exception (702)

when an exception is thrown by code in the try block, the JVM begins _____ the try statement for a catch clause that can handle it

searching (692) ~it searches the catch clauses from top to bottom and passes control of the program to the first catch clause with a parameter that is compatible with the exception

all java programming statements must end with a _______

Java allows you to _____ objects, which is a simpler way of saving objects to a file

serialize (724)

*IOException*

serves as a superclass for exceptions that are related to input and output operations (683)

*RuntimeException*

serves as a superclass for exceptions that result from programming errors, such as an out-of-bounds array subscript (683)

Error

similar to exception, except that an error generally represents an unrecoverable situation and should not be caught

When you execute Java interpreter, you are

specifiying the name of hte class. It will search for a file by that name with a .class extension then execute the code in the specified class.

System.exit

static method ________ terminates an application.

FACT

storing data in its *binary format* is more efficient than storing it as text because there are fewer conversions to take place (713)

input stream

stream from which we read information

output stream

stream to which we write information

the rules of a programming language constitute it's _________

syntax

Void

tells the computer that main() does not return a value

;

terminates statements Ends a logical entity NOT used to end a block Can write multiple statements on the same line if they're separated with a ; Ex. x=y; y=y+1; System.out.println(x + " " + y); Can also break really long lines up to make them more readable.

FACT

the *FileInputStream constructor* will throw a *FileNotFoundException* if the file named by the string argument cannot be found (715)

FACT

the *FileNotFoundException* is a *checked exception* (703)

NOTE

the *FileOutputStream* constructor throws an *IOException* if an error occurs when it attempts to open the file (713)

which class can you use to sequentially process a binary file?

the *RandomAccessFile class* (719)

FACT

the *RandomAccessFile class* treats a file as a stream of bytes (721) ~tey are numbered, with the first byte being 0 & the last being 1 less than the number of bytes in the file

NOTE

the *exception classes* are in packages in the Java API (683)

You can use this method to determine whether a file exists.

the File class's exists method

NOTE

the Java API documentation lists all of the exceptions that can be thrown from each method (685)

When java source code is compiled, each class is put into its own output file named after

the class using hte .class extension Give java source file the same name as the class the contain so the source file name will match the name of hte .class file.

CONCEPT

the content of a binary file is not formatted as text & not meant to be opened in a text editor (712)

FACT

the default exception handler *prints* an error message & crashes the program (682)

FACT

the key word *throws* is written at the end of the method header, followed by a list of the types of exceptions that the method can *throw* (703)

Name of main class should match

the name of hte file that holds the program. Make sure the capitalization matches as well, it's case sensitive.

Out

the output system stream that is connected to the console

deserialization

the process of reading a serialized object's bytes and constructing an object from them (725)

try block

the program to be executed always If no error is caught, then the program runs normally. If error caught, program jumps to the appropriate catch handler. After error has been handled, code after the try-catch block is run.

Not handling exceptions

the program will run up until the exception, and then it will crash and print out an error message.

FACT

there are many error conditions that can occur while a Java app is running that will cause it to halt execution (681)

FACT

there are some types of data that should be stored only in its raw binary format (713) ~*images, audio, & video* are an example

void writeChar(int c) [DataOutputStream method]

this method accepts an int which is assumed to be a character code. The character it represents is written to the file as a 2-byte Unicode character (714)

*EOFException* object

thrown when an app attempts to read beyond the end of the file (683)

*FileNotFoundException* object

thrown when an app tries to open a file that does not exist (683)

the _____ clause informs the compiler of the exceptions that could get thrown from a method

throws clause (703)

FACT

to meet the needs of a specific class or app, you can create your own exception classes by extending the Exception class or 1 of its subclasses (708)

FACT

to open a binary file for input, you wrap a *DataInputStream object* around a *FileInputStream object* (715)

CONCEPT

to prevent *exceptions* from crashing your program, you must write code that detects and handles them (681)

FACT

to serialize an object and write it to the file, use the *ObjectOutputStream* class's *writeObject* method (725)

FACT

to write *bytes to a file*, use an output stream object, such as *FileOutputStream* (725)

when a file is first opened, the *file pointer* is set to 0 (721) ~when an item is read from the file, it is read from the byte that the *file pointer* points to ~Reading also causes the pointer to advance to the byte beyond the item that was read

exception propagation (handling elsewhere)

when an exception is caught and handled at an outer level in the method-calling hierarchy. If an exception is not caught and handled in the method where it occurs, control is immediately returned to the method that invoked the method that produced the exception. If it isn't caught there, control returns tot he method that called it, and so on.

FACT

when an exception is thrown by a method executing under several layers of method calls, it is sometimes helpful to know which methods were responsible for the method being called (699)

FACT

when an exception is thrown, it cannot be ignored, but must be handled by the program or default exception handler (702)

FACT

when an object is serialized, it is converted into a series of bytes that contains the object's data (724) ~if the object is set up properly, even the other objects that it might contain as fields are automatically *serialized*

FACT

when data is stored in a *binary file*, you cannot open the file in a text editor (713)

FACT

when in the same try statement you are handling multiple exceptions & some of the exceptions are related to each other through inheritance, then you should handle the more specialized exception classes before the more general exception classes (697)

when is an *exception thrown*?

when the code does *not handle* an exception (682)

Assume that inputFile references a Scanner object that was used to open a file. Which of the following while loops shows the correct way to read data from the file until the end of the file is reached?

while (inputFile.hasNext()) { ... }

Which of the following are pre-test loops?

while, for

Integer values

whole number values, precede the name of a variable with the keyword int

How far will it propagate?

will be propagated until it is caught and handled or until it is passed out of the main method, which causes the program to terminate and produces an exception message.

the _____ method throws an *IOException* if an error occurs

writeObject method (725)

to write a string to a binary file you should use the *DataOutputStream* class's _____ method

writeUTF method (717) ~this method writes its *String* argument in a format known as *UTF-8 encoding*

void writeUTF(String str) [DataOutputStream method]

writes the String object passed to str to the file using the Unicode Text Format (714)

void writeBoolean(boolean b) [DataOutputStream method]

writes the int value passed to i to the file (714)

void writeLong(long num) [DataOutputStream method]

writes the long value passed to num to the file (714)

void writeShort(short s) [DataOutputStream method]

writes the short value passed to s to the file (714)

written into plain text files ending in .java. Those source files are then compiled into .class files by javac compiler, this contains bytecodes. The java launcher tool then runs your application with the Java virtual machine.

The if statement

you can selectively execute part of a program through if. if(condition) statement; If true, it's executed If false, it's skipped

FACT

you can think of the code in the try block as being *protected* since the app will not halt if the try block throws an exception (684)

FACT

you can use the *throw* statement to manually throw an exception (704) ~causes the object to be created and thrown

CONCEPT

you can write code that throws 1 of the standard Java exceptions, or an instance of a custom exception class that you have designed (704)

- can be used to write to stream or to do other operations on the stream. - public void close() throws IOException{} -protected void finalize()throws IOException {} -public void write(int w)throws IOException{} -public void write(byte[] w)

*FileInputStream*

-class that allows you to *open a file* for reading binary data & establish a connection with it -it provides only the basic functionality for reading bytes from the file (715)

*DataInputStream*

-class that allows you to *read data* of any primitive type, or String objects, from a binary file -the class itself cannot directly access a file -it is used in conjunction with a *FileInputStream object* that has a connection to a file (715)

Typical File Tasks

-determining whether and where a path or file exits -opening a file for use by a program -writing new or revised data created by a program to a file -reading previously stored data into a program to display to a user, to be raised by a user, or to be used as information to perform a tad such as payroll -closing a file -deleting a file

NOTE

-do not confuse the *throw statement* with the *throws clause* -*throw statement*: causes an exception to be thrown -*throws clause*: informs the compiler that a method throws 1 or more exceptions (705)

important points to know about *RandomAccessFile modes*:

-if you open a file in *r mode* & the file does not exist, a *FileNotFoundException* is thrown -if you open a file in *r mode* & try to write to it, an *IOException* is thrown -if you open an existing file in *rw mode*, it will not be deleted. The file's existing contents will be preserved -if you open a file in *rw mode* & the file does not exist, it will be created (719)

char readChar() [DataInputStream method]

-reads a char value from the file and returns it -the character is expected to be stored as a two-byte Unicode character, as written by the DataOutputStream class's writeChar method (716)

String readUTF() [DataInputStream method]

-reads a string from the file and returns it as a String object -the string must have been written with the DataOutputStream class's writeUTF method (716)

*FileOutputStream* class

-this class allows you to *open a file* for writing binary data and establish a connection with it -it provides only basic functionality for writing bytes to the file (713)

*DataOutputStream*

-this class allows you to *write data* of any primitive type or String objects to a binary file -the class by itself cannot directly access a file -it is used with the *FileOutputStream object* that has a connection to a file (713)

FACT

-when the *DataInputStream* class's *readUTF* method reads from the file, it expects the first 2 bytes to contain the number of bytes that the string occupies -then it reads that many bytes and returns them to a String (717)

The terms temporary and permanent refer to ....

... volatility, not length of time.

In doing so, we essentially define our own exceptions For example, if you do public static void main(String[] args) throws OutOfRangeException { code that includes instantiating an OutOfRangeException object and later a if (whatever you want to check) { throw excepObj;} } you essentially make an exception that is not part of the standard library, but it is created from the outOfRangeException class. If there's no try-catch, the error will terminate the program.

computer file

a collection of data stored on a nonvolatile device

Files: a) contains only static methods b) contains static and non=static methods

a correct

Which of the below can be created using "new": a) File b) Path c)Paths d) Files:

a correct. Path is an interface. Files and Paths are final classes. This class consists exclusively of static methods that operate on files, directories, or other types of files.

File a = new File("c:\\a"); File b = new File("c:\\a\\b"); File f = new File(a,b,"f.txt"); System. out. println( f.createNewFile()); System. out. println( f.exists());The folders exist and the file already exists. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) Compile and Print "false true" d) None of the above

a correct. Remember File constructor can take (File, String) (String) (String,String) params ---> new File(a,b,"f.txt"); gives compiler error

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); System.out.println( i.createdirectory()); } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print true d) none of the above

a correct. createdirectory() is not a method within the File class. To create a new directory you call the method mkdir() or mkdirs() for the creation of subdirectories

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\m.txt"); System. out. println( i.renameTo("C:\\a\\b\\a.txt")); } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and rename m.txt to a.txt d) none of the above

a correct. i.renameTo() doesn't take string parameter. Solution: wrap the new file name in a File object i.e. i.renameTo(new File("C:\\a\\b\\a.txt")); Note: you can also change folder the same way.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); System. out. println(i.del());} Assume the above folders exist. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and delete b folder and return true d) none of the above

a correct. it will give a compiler error as the del() method does not exist in File. Replace this with i.delete() and it would work.

import java.io.Console; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Console c = System. console(); char[] n = c.readLine("%c", "Enter Name: "); System. out. println("Welcome "+n); } } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and echo whatever you entered to the screen d) none of the above

a correct. readLine("%c", "Enter Name: "); returns a String var. you cannot store variable as a char variable. ----> Compiler error. Solution: String n = c.readLine("%s", "Enter Name: "); or String n = c.readLine("Enter Name: ");

import java.io.Console; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Console c = System. console(); char n = c.readPassword("%c", "Enter password: "); } } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and store user input to char n d) none of the above

a correct. readPassword() returns char array ----> you cannot store (char[]) and read in a variable (char) ----> compiler error. Solution: char[] n = c.readPassword(

Paths: a) creates Paths objects that contain static methods b) creates Paths objects that contain non-static methods

a correct. static methods: return type: static Path ---- methods: get(String first, String... more) - Converts a path string, or a sequence of strings that when joined form a path string, to a Path. return type: static Path ----- Method: get(URI uri) - Converts the given URI to a Path object.

Why is opening a file important?

a file might be written to disk as a "scratchpad" for use by a program and then deleted at the end of the process to free up disk space

a file that contains the bytecode versoin of the program. Bytecode must be executed by teh Java virtual machine.

Code block

a grouping of two or more statements Enclosed in curly braces Becomes a logical unit that can be used in any place single statement can. Link statement together for clarity and efficiency

import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileReader; class A { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File f = new File("C:\\a\\myFile.txt"); FileReader fr = new FileReader(f); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr); System. out. println( br.readLine()); br.flush(); br.close();} } considering hello world is in file myFile.txt (where "hello" is on the first line and "world" on the second) The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print "hello" d) none of the above

a is correct. BufferedReader class does not have a flush() method. If the flush method was removed then it would print "hello" to the screen. Note: flush() is located in BufferedWriter.

import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileReader; class A { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File f = new File("C:\\a\\myFile.txt"); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(f); System. out. println( br.readLine()); br.close();} } considering hello world is in file myFile.txt (where "hello" is on the first line and "world" on the second) The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print "hello" d) none of the above

a is correct. File object f needs to be wrapped in FileReader fr object which needs to be wrapped in BufferedReader br object in order to compile i.e. File f = new File("C:\\a\\ myFile.txt"); FileReader fr = new FileReader(f); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Path p1 = Paths.get( "C:\\a\\b\\File.txt"); System. out. println(p1); } } File location does not exist physically in memory. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print "C:\\a\\b\\File.txt" d) none of the above

a is correct. the folders and subfolders do not need to exist physically in order for this to combine.

FACT

a try statement can have several catch clauses in order to handle different types of exceptions (692) ~the program does not use the exception handlers to recover from any of the errors ~regardless of whether the file is not found or a nonnumeric item is encountered in the file, this program still halts

b correct.

import java.io.Console; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Console c = System. console(); String n = c.readLine("%c", "Enter Name: "); System. out. println("Welcome "+n); } } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and echo whatever you entered to the screen d) none of the above

b correct. Throws java. util. IllegalFormatConversionException Attempting to convert car formatted type to string throws exception. Solution: c.readLine("%s", ........);

import java.io.File; class A { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File dir = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); File f = new File(dir, "MyFile.txt"); f.createNewFile(); } } Considering the above directories a and b do not exist prior to execution. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print create an empty file "MyFile.txt" in a\b folder d) none of the above

b correct. f.createNewFile(); will throw an IOException as a and b and directories have not being created ----> insert dir.mkdirs(); AFTER File dir = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); ----> i.e. File dir = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); dir.mkdirs(); File f = new File(dir, "MyFile.txt"); f.createNewFile();

import java.nio.file.*; class A { public static void main ( String[] args) throws Exception { Path src = Paths.get( "C:\\a\\log1.txt"); Path des = Paths.get( "C:\\a\\log2.txt"); Files.copy(src, des); } } Where log2.txt does exist. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and copy the content successfully d) none of the above

b correct. it will throw a FileAlreadyExistsException log2.txt already exists. It must not exist prior to copy.

import java.io.File; class A { public static void main( String[] args) { File f = new File( "C:\\a\\b\\Log.txt" ); f.createNewFile(); } } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and create a new file Log.txt d) none of the above

b correct. it will throw a RuntimeException. main class should declare that it throws Exception.

import java.io.File; class B { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File f = new File( "c:\\a\\b\\MyFile.txt"); System. out. println(f.exists()); System. out. println( f. createNewFile() ); } } assume the above path does not exist. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) Compile and Print "false true" d) None of the above

b correct. will print " false java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified"

import java.io.Console; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Console c = System. console();char[] pw = c.readPassword(null, "Enter password: "); } } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print "Enter password: " d) none of the above

b is correct. It would throw an NullPointerException. readPassword(null,...) replace with readPassword("%s",... or readPassword( "Enter password: "); and it will compile and run fine.

import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Path p1 = Paths.get("file:///C://a//File.txt"); System. out. println(p1); } } Consider the above code running on Windows. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print C://a//File.txt d) none of the above

b is correct. Will throw InvalidPathException because file:///C://a// on Windows is a URL. Solution: convert the string to URI Universal Resource Identifier- Path p1 = Paths.get(URI.create("file:///C://a//File.txt")); making sure to import java.net.URI;

bytecode

Paths is an: a) abstract class b) static class c) class d) interface

c correct

Path contains: a) only static methods b) static and nonstatic methods c) nonstatic methods only

c correct.

import java.io.File; class B { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File f = new File( "c:\\a\\b\\MyFile.txt"); System. out. println( f.exists()); System. out. println( f.createNewFile()); } } assume the above path does exist. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) Compile and Print "false true" d) None of the above

c correct. It's important to ensure that the path/folders exist beforehand. f.exists() --> returns false. f.createNewFile() --> returns true when MyFile.txt successfully created

Files and Path and Paths: a) can be created using "new" b) cannot be created using "new"

c correct. Path is an interface. Files and Paths are final classes. This class consists exclusively of static methods that operate on files, directories, or other types of files.

import java.io.Console; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Console c = System. console(); String n = c.readLine("%s", "Enter Name: "); System. out. println("Welcome "+n); } } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and echo whatever you entered to the screen d) none of the above

c correct. e.g. c:> java A :c> Enter Name: Mark c:> Welcome Mark

import java.io.Console; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Console c = System. console();char[] pw = c.readPassword("%s", "Enter password: "); } } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print "Enter password: " d) none of the above

c is correct.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File f = new File("C:\\a\\myFile.txt"); FileReader fr = new FileReader(f); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr); System.out.println(br.readLine()); br.close(); } considering "hello world" is in file myFile.txt (where "hello" is on the first line and "world" on the second) The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print "hello" d) none of the above

c is correct.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\m.txt"); System. out. println( i.renameTo(new File("C:\\a\\b\\a.txt"))); } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and rename m.txt to a.txt d) none of the above

c is correct.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); System. out. println( i.isDirectory()); } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print false d) compile and print true

c is correct. File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); is an object not a folder. In order to create the folder you need to state ; File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); i.mkdirs(); System. out. println( i.isDirectory()); ----> will return true

import java.io.File; class A { public static void main( String [] args) { File f = new File( "C:\\a\\b\\"); f.mkdirs(); } } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and create the subfolders a and b d) none of the above

c is correct. Note: The main method does not need to declare that it throws Exception but it does if creating via import java.nio.file.Files; i.e. File f = new File( "C:\\a\\b\\Log.txt"); f.createNewFile(); }

import java.nio.file.*; class A { public static void main ( String[] args) throws Exception { Path src = Paths.get( "C:\\a\\log1.txt"); Path des = Paths.get( "C:\\a\\log2.txt"); Files.copy(src, des); } } Where log2.txt does not exist. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and will copy the contents of log1.txt to log2.txt d) none of the above

c is correct. Note: if log2.txt exists then it will throw a FileAlreadyExistsException

import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Path p1 = Paths.get( "C:\\a\\","b\\File.txt"); System. out. println(p1); } } File location does not exist physically in memory. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print "C:\\a\\b\\File.txt" d) none of the above

c is correct. Paths.get( "C:\\a\\","b\\File.txt"); is syntactically correct. You can also use: Paths.get( "C:\\a\\", "b\\","File.txt"); or Path p1 = Paths.get( "C:\\a\\b\\","File.txt");

File a = new File("c:\\a"); File f = new File(a,"f.txt"); System. out. println( f.createNewFile()); System. out. println( f.exists());The folders exist and the file already exists. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) Compile and Print "false true" d) None of the above

c is correct. Remember File constructor can take (File, String) (String) (String,String) params

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); System. out. println( i.delete()); System. out. println(i.delete()); i = new File("C:\\a\\"); System. out. println(i.delete()); } Assume the above folders exist. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and delete a and b folders and return true d) none of the above

c is correct. The first delete method call delete subfolder b. A File reference i is then reappointed to a new File Object containing folder a. The second delete method call then deletes this folder a.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); File f = new File(i,"m.txt"); f.createNewFile(); System. out. println( f.isFile());} The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print true d) none of the above

c is correct. this code creates a new file in the subdirectory b

binary files

contains data that has not been encoded as text; the content cannot be viewed in a text editor

Path is an: a) abstract class b) static class c) class d) interface

d is correct

import java.io.Console; class A { public static void main(String[] args) { Console c = System. console(); char[] n = c. readPassword( "%s", "Enter password: "); System. out. println( "Password is: "+n); } } Consider the user entered mark. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print mark d) Address of password e.g. [C@139eeda

d is correct.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); System. out. println(i.delete()); System. out. println( i.delete()); } Assume the above folders exist. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and delete a and b folders and return true d) none of the above

d is correct. It deletes b subfolder and returns true. the second call to the delete method i.delete() attempts to delete the same subfolder b but it does not exist therefore returns false

import java.io.File; class A { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File dir = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); dir.mkdirs(); File f = new File(dir, "MyFile.txt"); } } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print create an empty file "MyFile.txt" in a\b folder d) none of the above

d is correct. It will create the folders a and b but not the file "MyFile.txt" as f.createNewFile(); should be declared after File f = new File(dir, "MyFile.txt");

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); File f = new File(i,"m.txt"); System. out. println( f.isFile());} The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print true d) none of the above

d is correct. You need to call the method f.createNewFile(); after File f = new File(i,"m.txt"); it will then return through

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); i.mkdir(); System. out. println( i.isDirectory()); } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print true d) none of the above

d is correct. i.mkdir(); therefore doesn't create folders ----> makes one folder only. however if i.mkdir(); is replaced with i.mkdirs(); this would work fine.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File i = new File("C:\\a\\b\\"); System. out. println( i.delete()); } Assume the above folders exist. The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and delete a and b folders and return true d) none of the above

d is correct. it will delete b sub folder only.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File f = new File("C:\\a\\myFile.txt"); FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f); BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw); bw.write("a1"); bw.write("b1"); } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and print "a1b1" d) none of the above

d is correct. myFile.txt is still open. You must call bw.flush(); bw.close(); after completing writing to the file.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File f = new File("C:\\a\\myFile.txt"); FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f); BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw); bw.write("a"); bw.write("b"); bw.flush(); bw.close(); } The above code will give: a) compiler error b) runtime error c) compile and write a b (On seperate lines) d) none of the above

d is correct. will write "ab" (without spaces). To write a and b on separate lines you need to get the character for your particular operating system e.g. bw.write("a"); bw.write( System. lineSeparator()); bw.write("b");

A(n) ____ is a holding place for bytes that are waiting to be read or written. a. ByteChannel b. FileChannel c. InputStream d. ByteBuffer

d. ByteBuffer

You can use Java's ____ class to create your own random access files. a. Path b. FileStream c. File d. FileChannel

Categories of Files

text files and binary files

java.io package

- contains nearly every class you might ever need to perform input and output (I/O) in Java - All these streams represent an input source and an output destination - The stream in the java.io package supports many data such as primitives, object, localized characters, etc.

FileInputStream

- is used for reading data from the files. - Objects can be created using the keyword new and there are several types of constructors available. InputStream f = new FileInputStream("C:/java/hello"); or File f = new File("C:/java/hello"); InputStream f = new FileInputStream(f);

FileOutputStream

- is used to create a file and write data into it. - The stream would create a file, if it doesn't already exist, before opening it for output. ex1: OutputStream f = new FileOutputStream("C:/java/hello") ex2: File f = new File("C:/java/hello"); OutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(f);

Creating Directories: 2 useful File utility methods

- mkdir( ) - mkdirs()

Character Streams

- perform input and output for 16-bit unicode - most frequently used classes are, FileReader and FileWriter. - Though internally FileReader uses FileInputStream and FileWriter uses FileOutputStream but here the major difference is that FileReader reads two bytes at a time and FileWriter writes two bytes at a time.

Byte Streams

- used to perform input and output of 8-bit bytes - most frequently used classes are, FileInputStream and FileOutputStream.

running time exception

An exception that can only occur when a program runs

How have we obtained data in our projects?
