Binary output
import java.io.*; Step 1: Import the required packages:
import java.util.Scanner; Step 1.1: Import `java.io.*` for file handling.
Step 1.2: Import `java.util.Scanner` for user
public class StudentBinaryFile { input.
public static void main() { Step 2: Declare the class
Scanner scanner = new `StudentBinaryFile`.
Scanner(System.in); Step 3: Declare the `main` function.
Step 4: Create a `Scanner` object to read
try { input from the user.
Step 5: Use a `try` block to handle potential
FileOutputStream fileOut = new exceptions.
FileOutputStream("Student.dat"); Step 5.1: Create a `FileOutputStream`
DataOutputStream dataOut = new object to write to the file `"Student.dat"`.
DataOutputStream(fileOut); Step 5.2: Wrap the `FileOutputStream`
object with a `DataOutputStream` to handle
binary data.
System.out.print("Enter the
student's name: "); Step 6: Prompt the user for student details.
String name = scanner.nextLine(); Step 6.1: Prompt and read the student's
name as a string.
System.out.print("Enter the roll Step 6.2: Prompt and read the roll number
number: "); as an integer.
int rollNo = scanner.nextInt(); Step 6.3: Prompt and read the marks as a
double.
System.out.print("Enter the marks: Step 7: Write the student details to the file
"); in binary format using the
double marks = `DataOutputStream` object.
scanner.nextDouble(); Step 7.1: Write the student's name using
`writeUTF()`.
Step 7.2: Write the roll number using
dataOut.writeUTF(name); `writeInt()`.
dataOut.writeInt(rollNo); Step 7.3: Write the marks using
dataOut.writeDouble(marks); `writeDouble()`.
Step 8: Close the `DataOutputStream` and
`FileOutputStream` to release file
dataOut.close(); resources.
fileOut.close(); Step 8.1: Display a message indicating that
data has been successfully written to the
System.out.println("Data has been file.
written to 'Student.dat' in binary format."); Step 9: Use a `catch` block to handle
`IOException`.
} catch (IOException e) { Step 9.1: If an error occurs, display `"An
System.out.println("An error error occurred while writing to the file."`.
occurred while writing to the file."); Step 10: Use a `finally` block to close the
e.printStackTrace(); `Scanner` object.
} finally { Step 11: End the program.
scanner.close();
}
}
