This is the first time i feel like i'm understanding everything in a coding tutorial. Your steps are so clear and you don't skip anything. You don't make anything complicated and show it as simple as it is. Perfect video. Thank you so much John, i hope you have a nice day!

really astounded that there aren't more clear cut tutorials/explanations about buffered reader/writer on YT. Thanks for the video!

@misaelpereira9679 2 года назад

For anyone that does not know, you can use "try with resources" instead of closing the buffered items (and everything that implements closeable interface)

@flameyosflow_4834 Год назад

In the latest java versions at least, you can only use try-with-resources when something implements AutoClosable

@OmnispectiveHub 2 года назад

I've worked in this industry for years but as a lower level tech employee and am needing to brush up again. These tutorials are just fantastic. If you can understand why you'd do things this really clears up the rest. To boot, they are really concise and nicely made. Thanks man I do appreciate it.

@dasikalyan 2 года назад

Yeah.. as someone pointed out.. try-with-resources is a good way to show best practice for any resource that implements closeable .. something like this try (BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("output.txt"))) { writer.write("Writing to a file"); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

Ok, this videos was awesome. Currently taking Udemy’s “Java Programming Master Class” it’s very in-depth…and I’m always looking for Channels/videos like your to fill in the gaps and give a different/simpler explanation on what seems to be complex topics. You should offer private lessons in addition to your Course. IMHO. 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

@AlexandreJasmin 2 года назад

This would be a good place to use Java’s try-with-resources statement which automatically close the file when leaving a code block. For a small program like this, main() can also be declared as “void main(String[] args) throws IOException” which would end the program and print a stack trace in case of error.

@justinliu7788 2 года назад

You should close the resources in finally block or use a try with resources to guarantee the resources are closed. If you don't do this and there is some exception while running the writes, the resource will never be closed.

@lamiabakli3568 4 месяца назад

watching this right before my OOP exam, you're a life saver

@redcrafterlppa303 2 года назад

That is an old and complicated way. The easiest way is to just put your lines in a list and call : Files.write("path","your list") ; That's all. You also need to handle the ioException though. Reading is simple too: List lines = Files.read("path").collect(Collectors.toList());

@francis.joseph 2 года назад

will there be any performance issues if we use this

@redcrafterlppa303 2 года назад

@@francis.joseph I'm not sure but a raw loop with a filewriter is probably faster. But the point in this method is simplicity and reliability. Also 9/10 such performance differences are not important. If you write to a file many times a second you should think about refactoring the code and buffer the data.

@AdamZX1 Год назад

Hey John, regarding the 'while' loop, I'd rather simply implement it using '.ready()' i.e.: while (reader.ready()) System.out.println(reader.readLine()); Which does exactly the same thing as your code. Thank you for the great content and best regards !

We were given an assignment to code all kinds of shapes, and the lecturer deliberately did not teach how to save files. And I asked him why they don't teach, but they did put it in the assignment, he said he wants us to learn to code and think twice about how everything works, only after watching your video, I understood the meaning of why he wanted it, there won't always be someone next to you to tell you, this is the stage you need study alone and look for answers

@pataruutu1 2 года назад

Hi! Could you give me a short run down of all the different writers? I have recognized the following ones(not including bufferedwriter): CharArrayWriter, FilterWriter, OutputStreamWriter, PipedWriter, PrintWriter, StringWriter How do they differ from each other?

@D0Samp 2 года назад

CharArrayWriter and StringWriter don't actually write characters, but store them in a buffer from where they can be extracted as a char[] or String. This is useful when you want to further inspect and modify data from APIs that output to a writer. OutputStreamWriter encodes text using a charset and writes it to a binary OutputStream, which again can be almost anything (for example a FileOutputStream or a network connection). This plus InputStreamReader translate between text- and binary-based streams. PipedWriter writes text that can be read by a PipedReader in the same Java VM. This can be used for communication between different threads by means of a pipeline. PrintWriter is a wrapper class that adds formatted text output (mostly through the format, print and println methods) to another writer. The System.out and System.err members are the best known instances of this class. FilterWriter is an abstract class that needs to be subclassed to be usable. It's meant for filters that inspect and modify text that gets passed to another writer.

@MrChaluliss Год назад

This is nice for learning the incantations for reading and writing files. But I am more interested in understand just why I need 2 separate classes to do either action. In the case of my Java course in school my professor even made a 3 class nesting to read from a file. ( `Scanner( FileReader ( File ( "filePath")))` ). I really want to know what the deal with all this nesting is in Java, and why I might choose one class over another when performing IO.
