Fileinputstream fileobject new fileinputstream
A classic Java question!
You're asking about the relationship between FileInputStream
, File
, and FileInputStream
again.
Here's a brief summary:
File
: AFile
object represents a file or directory in the file system. It's an abstract representation of a file or directory, and it doesn't have any direct connection to the file system.FileInputStream
: AFileInputStream
object is a stream that reads from a file. It's a concrete implementation of theInputStream
interface, which allows you to read bytes from a source (in this case, a file).FileObject
: There is no such thing as aFileObject
in Java. You might be thinking ofFile
orFileInputStream
, but notFileObject
.
Now, let's talk about the relationships between these three:
- You can create a
File
object to represent a file or directory in the file system. - You can create a
FileInputStream
object to read from a file, and you need to pass aFile
object to its constructor to specify the file to read from. - Once you have a
FileInputStream
object, you can use it to read bytes from the file.
Here's some sample code to illustrate this:
File file = new File("path/to/file.txt");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
In this example, we create a File
object to represent the file file.txt
at the specified path. Then, we create a FileInputStream
object to read from that file, passing the File
object to its constructor.
Note that you can also use the FileInputStream
constructor that takes a String
parameter, which is the path to the file:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("path/to/file.txt");
This is equivalent to creating a File
object and then passing it to the FileInputStream
constructor.
