Introduction to Java Programming Chapter 18 Introduction to Java Progrmming Chapter 19 Binary Input and Output Chapter 19 In this chapter, you will learn the following concepts: To understand how I/O is processed in Java (§19.2) To distinguish between text I/O and binary I/O (§19.3) To read and write bytes using FileInputStream and FileOutputStream (§19.4). To read and write primitive values and strings using DataInputStream/DataOutputStream (§19.4) ObjectOuputStream and ObjectInputStream To Serializable interface to enable objects to be serializable To use RandomAccessFile for both read and write 19.1 Introduction Data stored in a text file are represented in human-readable form. Data stored in a binary file are represented in binary form. You cannot read binary files. Binary files are designed to be read by programs. For example, the Java source programs are stored in text files and can be read by a text editor, but the Java classes are stored in binary files and are read by the JVM. The advantage of binary files is that they are more efficient to process than text files. Although it is not technically precise and correct, you can imagine that a text file consists of a sequence of characters and a binary file consists of a sequence of bits. For example, the decimal integer 199 is stored as the sequence of three characters: 1, 9, 9 in a text file and the same integer is stored as a byte-type value C7 in a binary file, because decimal 199 equals to hex C7 19.2 How is I/O Handled in Java? A File object encapsulates the properties of a file or a path, but does not contain the methods for reading/writing data from/to a file. In order to perform I/O, you need to create objects using appropriate Java I/O classes. Scanner input = new Scanner(new File(temp.txt“)); System.out.println( input.nextLine() ); input.cloae(); 19.3 Text I/O vs. Binary I/O 19.4 Binary I/O Classes OutputStream 19.4.1 FileInputStream/FileOutputStream FileInputStream To construct a FileInputStream,
