public class FilterReaderDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      FilterReader fr = null;
      Reader r = null;      
      boolean bool = false;
      
      try {
         // create new reader
         r = new StringReader("ABCDEF");
          
         // create new filter reader
         fr = new FilterReader(r) {
         };
         
         // tests if the filter reader supports mark()
         bool = fr.markSupported();
         
         // prints
         System.out.print("If mark() supported? "+bool);
         
      } catch(Exception e) {
         // if any I/O error occurs
         e.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
         // releases system resources associated with this stream
         if(r!=null)
            r.close();
         if(fr!=null)
            fr.close();
      }
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
