Topic & Structure of the lesson
• Binary I/O
• FileInputStream & FileOutputStream
• DataInputStream & DataOutputStream
• BufferedInputStream & BufferedOutputStream
CT038-3-2 Object Oriented Development with Java File Input and Output 2
Learning outcomes
• At the end of this lecture you should be
able to:
– Understand IO processing
– Explain Binary I/O
CT038-3-2 Object Oriented Development with Java File Input and Output 3
Binary I/O
• Text I/O requires encoding and decoding
• JVM does this conversion between
Unicode to file-specific and vise versa
• Binary I/O does not require conversions
• Writing bytes to the file, the original bytes
is copied into the file
CT038-3-2 Object Oriented Development with Java File Input and Output 4
Binary I/O
Text I/O
Encoding/decoding
Unicode of Encoded character stored
character
Binary I/O
Byte is Same byte stored
read/written

FileInputStream and
FileOutputStream
• For reading/writing bytes from/to files.
• Constructors:
public FileInputStream(String filename)
public FileInputStream(File file)
public FileOutputStream(String filename)
public FileOutputStream(File file)
public FileOutputStream(String filename,
boolean append)
public FileOutputStream(File file,
boolean append)

FileInputStream and
FileOutputStream
public static void main(String []args) throws
IOException {
//create an output stream to the file
FileOutputStream output = new
FileOutputStream("temp.dat");
//output values to the file
for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++){
output.write(i);
}//for
output.close();
contd. to next slide

FileInputStream and
FileOutputStream
//create an input stream to the file
FileInputStream input = new
FileInputStream("temp.dat");
//read values from the file
int value;
while((value = input.read()) != -1){
System.out.print(value + " ");
}//while
input.close();
}

DataInputStream and
DataOutputStream
• DataInputStream reads bytes from the stream
and converts them into appropriate primitive
type values or strings
• DataOutputStream converts primitive type
values or strings into bytes and output the bytes
to the stream
• Constructors:
public DataInputStream(InputStream
instream)
public DataOutputStream(OutputStream
outstream)
CT038-3-2 Object Oriented Development with Java File Input and Output
DataInputStream and
DataOutputStream
public static void main(String [] args) throws
IOException {
//create an output stream for the file
temp.dat
DataOutputStream output = new
DataOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream("temp.dat"));
contd. to next slide

DataInputStream and
DataOutputStream
//write student test scores
output.writeUTF("John");
output.writeDouble(86.5);
output.writeUTF("Jim");
output.writeDouble(95.5);
output.writeUTF("George");
output.writeDouble(100.0);
//close output stream
output.close();
contd. to next slide
CT038-3-2 Object Oriented Development with Java File Input and Output 12
DataInputStream and
DataOutputStream
//create an input stream for file temp.dat
DataInputStream input = new
DataInputStream(new
FileInputStream("temp.dat"));
//read student test scores
System.out.println(input.readUTF() + " " +
input.readDouble());
System.out.println(input.readUTF() + " " +
input.readDouble());
System.out.println(input.readUTF() + " " +
input.readDouble());
input.close(); }

BufferedInputStream and
BufferedOutputStream
• Can be used to speed up input and output
by reducing the number of reads and
writes, just like
BufferedReader/BufferedWriter
• BufferedReader/BufferedWriter is for
reading/writing characters
• BufferedInputStream/
BufferedOutputStream is for
reading/writing bytes
CT038-3-2 Object Oriented Development with Java File Input and Output
BufferedInputStream and
BufferedOutputStream
• Constructors:
//create a BufferedInputStream
public BufferedInputStream(InputStream in)
public BufferedInputStream(InputStream in,
int bufferSize)
//create a BufferedOutputStream
public BufferedOutputStream(OutputStream in)
public BufferedOutputStream(OutputStream in,
int bufferSize)

BufferedInputStream and
BufferedOutputStream
• You can improve the previous program by:
DataOutputStream output = new
DataOutputStream(new
BufferedOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream("temp.dat")));
DataInputStream input = new
DataInputStream(new
BufferedInputStream(new
FileInputStream("temp.dat")));

• What is Binary I/O?
• List all Text I/O and Binary I/O classes
