Java File Input/Output - It's Way Easier Than You Think

[@ungabunga7220]

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!

[@antunes6239]

YHEAA i'm from Brazil,and by the first time,i understood how this work

[@dushanchanuka1941]

Same here🎉😅

[@ErikHansenDrums]

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

[@Jmarthecat]

You have no idea how happy I am when I search something related to Java and your video pops up.

[@misaelpereira9679]

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]

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

[@illegalgiant_]

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.

[@OmnispectiveHub]

Perfect video. I can't begin to explain to you the confusion college classes give when explaining this type of stuff. Its great to have you as a resource for learning what they lack to teach properly. Much thanks, John.

[@shanisb95]

Each time I am struggling with a notion on CodeGym I am on the lookout for one of your videos. And each time it gets crystal clear when you explain it. Thank you so much for your work !

[@findlestick]

What? A concise, clearly-explained tutorial on KZbin? Subbed. 👍

[@HolyApplebutter]

You're an absolute god-send. I've been struggling with these last couple weeks of the semester, but you're able to explain these concepts so easily with clear examples to help walk us through them. You're great!

[@hkkabir2024]

thank you for your excellency. now i don't need to check anywhere for reading and writing file. Millions of thanks

As a JS engineer after starting to learn JAVA I've been wondering why every JAVA tutorial is recoreded in 320p quality with shitty audio !!!! finally a java tutorial with JS tutorials standards lol thank you so much.

[@turboheadcrab666]

This is the easiest way to understand the I/O. The university teacher and other youtubers make this a tedious topic, but you made it so much easier. Thanks a lot!

I watched this video, wrote some code and it works, Now I can reaaly write to and read from a file. Finally I wrote something that works. Thanks John!

[@oswaldovirto5896]

You always come in clutch John. I was taught how to do this a year ago and I haven't had to use it since but this was a great refresher. Thank you!

[@dilln2158]

[@justinliu7788]

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.

[@WannaBeProgrammer]

This is the first educational video I have slowed down the playback speed because I want to get every detail possible.

[@HelicopterRidesForCommunists]

Man, I keep finding great video lessons like this that do a better job of explaining and teaching than my own PROFESSORS do. It is fucked up how expensive College is for what we get out of it aside from "certification", essentially, and a way to officially show we have taken the courses.

[@TherealShacharTs]

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

[@mastershonobi110]

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. 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@CodingWithJohn]

If I can figure out a good way to do that when I have time, that's certainly an idea!

[@mastershonobi110]

@@CodingWithJohn I think it would be a very complimentary “course” for that course if nothing else. Just A Thought…. P.S. I will be visiting your other vids to reinforce and fill in the gaps in other topics/areas in Java. e.g “LinkedList” ans pointers lmao..

[@AdamZX1]

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 !

[@poorpanda9033]

Woah! This is great. Thanks for sharing !!

[@RealCasualTrash]

Amazing work man! Helps a lot for revising(Learning everything from scratch) for uni exmas! Keep it up!

[@dasikalyan]

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(); }

[@moxy-187]

You make it so easy to understand, thank you!

[@ouhyeap315]

When I see your videos feels like Java is too easy but when I go to actually programming my brain just reseted

[@rajacharya184]

thanks man you are like a savior in the hard times almost makes me wanna cry

[@nikhilsaimunagala2232]

This video really helped me learn File Input/Output properly. Btw, does it matter whether we choose File or Buffer Reader & Writer?

[@dewy367]

Thanks alot! So much easier than reading a lecture note when you have such an in depth summary

[@nelsoncoop3774]

if you create a PrintWriter instead of BufferedReader it comes with the normal print statements (print, println, printf) which is much easier and more familiar

[@Rosie-gj1pt]

More clear than my teacher's explanation regarding Java IO! Thanks for the video so much❤

[@jacobkurek5366]

[@kamui7424]

[@marlon4415]

Your way of explaining is very good. You kinda like go through the way of thinking, your explanation is in a very logical order. I'm very impressed, very good 👍🏻

[@BlueIsLeet]

It's better to use try with resources because close() may not get called if the readLine() or write() throws an exception

[@sararara7253]

I heart you John! You make learning Java clear and understandable. Thank you for helping me learn more and drink less...(coffee). Cheers!

[@asmewilliams7117]

At 2:30, actually the set is written on the fly even without the close() method being called. Edit: My bad, I used a Try With Resources, that's why I didn't need to call close() which is called automatically with TWR.

[@takeover6056]

정말 좋은 수업 매일 매일 듣고 있습니다. 감사합니다. SUper easy to study.

[@AlexandreJasmin]

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.

[@shantanupanditiitdelhi5515]

Very fantastic sir, the you was explaining that show how much you are cleared about concepts, thanks again master !!

[@zeppelinmexicano]

It's good to have a "go to" set of objects/methods for this kind of work. I like the BufferedReader/Writer approach and if I'm not mistaken it will even scale up and allow an efficient job with larger data.

Use this code. Pass output file name as well as "true" parameters for the file writer object. The true signifies boolean "append" = true. BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter ("Output.txt", true));

[@fumano2679]

quick question from someone who wants to learn with best practice in 7:55 you make a comparison and declaration in the same line, wouldnt it be 'better' to use a do while loop where you declare in the do scope and compare in the while condition? like: String line; do { line = reader.readLine(); } while (line != null) EDIT: i just saw that if line is null in my example it would still print it, so is the solution in the video best practice? i face those situations a lot where you have something you would like to declare in the loop but also need it as a condition to end the loop and giving it an initial value is kinda boilerplate code since you have the loop for this, would like to get someone else's opinion on that. Thanks

Thank you for creating such informative and helpful content. Your explanation of Java File Input/Output made a difference in understanding this complex concept. P.S. wrote/read the above comments from this lesson FileIO in Eclipse! Thanks

[@larbesabdellah7079]

Why u didn't included the reader and writer inside parentheses within try block when creating it like this : try (FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(path){// code} , this way no need to close the obj it will be done automatically, same for the the reader

[@DuderMcDudenstein]

Strangely, if, rather than declaring a String line which is then repeatedly reassigned as the value of the reader.readLine() method call, you instead just write: while (reader.readLine() != null) then it doesn't work correctly...

[@simplestep5449]

but what if the text made of a lot of paragraphs and it needs an empty line whenever has a new paragraph, will the read code still works? anyway, great video, thanks sir John!

[@bambuskrieger33]

7:58 Does the reader automatically go to the next line while executing the while loop (cause otherwise the first line would be printed over and over again)? I'm asking because we didn't specifically tell it to do so

Hey John, at 7:36 you showed a while loop. My question is that if there are 2 paragraphs, then wouldn't the reader just stop at the last line of the first paragraph and not further move on to the first line of the second paragraph?
