Java - DataOutputStream writeDouble(double value)

---

---

Description

The Java DataOuputStream writeDouble(double v) method converts the double argument to a long using the doubleToLongBits method in class Double, and then writes that long value to the underlying output stream as an 8-byte quantity, high byte first. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 8.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.io.DataOutputStream.writeDouble(double v) method −

public final void writeDouble(double v)

Parameters

v − a double value to be written to the output stream.

Return Value

This method does not return any value.

Exception

IOException − If an I/O error occurs.

Example 1

The following example shows the usage of Java DataInputStream writeDouble(double value) method. We've created InputStream, DataInputStream, FileOutputStream and DataOutputStream reference. A double[] buf is initialized with some double values. A FileOutputStream object is created with a File. Then DataOutputStream is initialized with FileOutputStream object created before. Then double array is iterated to write double values using writeDouble() method to the dataoutputstream.

Once double arrays is fully written into the stream, we've flush the stream to store the values in the file. Now using FileInputStream and DataInputStream, we're reading the file written earlier. Now we're checking if DataInputStream object has data using available() method. Then using readDouble() method, we're reading every value as double. Finally we're closing all the streams.

import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class DataOutputStreamDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
      InputStream is = null;
      DataInputStream dis = null;
      FileOutputStream fos = null;
      DataOutputStream dos = null;
      double[] dbuf = {65.56,66.89,67.98,68.82,69.55,70.37};
      
      try {
         // create file output stream
         fos = new FileOutputStream("F:\\test.txt");
         
         // create data output stream
         dos = new DataOutputStream(fos);
         
         // for each byte in the buffer
         for (double d:dbuf) {
         
            // write double to the data output stream
            dos.writeDouble(d);         
         }
         
         // force bytes to the underlying stream
         dos.flush();
         
         // create file input stream
         is = new FileInputStream("F:\\test.txt");
         
         // create new data input stream
         dis = new DataInputStream(is);
         
         // read till end of the stream
         while(dis.available()>0) {
         
            // read double
            double c = dis.readDouble();
            
            // print
            System.out.print(c + " ");
         }
         
      } catch(Exception e) {
         // if any I/O error occurs
         e.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
         // releases all system resources from the streams
         if(is!=null)
            is.close();
         if(dos!=null)
            is.close();
         if(dis!=null)
            dis.close();
         if(fos!=null)
            fos.close();
      }
   }
}

Output

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

65.56 66.89 67.98 68.82 69.55 70.37 

Example 2

The following example shows the usage of Java DataInputStream writeDouble(double value) method. We've created InputStream, DataInputStream, FileOutputStream and DataOutputStream reference. A double[] buf is initialized with some double values. A FileOutputStream object is created with a File. Then DataOutputStream is initialized with FileOutputStream object created before. As a special case, we're closing the stream before writing any value to check if it supports writing values after closing it.

Then double array is iterated to write double values using writeDouble() method to the dataoutputstream. Once double arrays is fully written into the stream, we've flush the stream to store the values in the file. Now using FileInputStream and DataInputStream, we're reading the file written earlier. Now we're checking if DataInputStream object has data using available() method. Then using readDouble() method, we're reading every value as double. Finally we're closing all the streams.

import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class DataOutputStreamDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
      InputStream is = null;
      DataInputStream dis = null;
      FileOutputStream fos = null;
      DataOutputStream dos = null;
      double[] dbuf = {65.56,66.89,67.98,68.82,69.55,70.37};
      
      try {
         // create file output stream
         fos = new FileOutputStream("F:\\test.txt");
         
         // create data output stream
         dos = new DataOutputStream(fos);

         // close the stream
         dos.close(); 
		 
         // for each byte in the buffer
         for (double d:dbuf) {
         
            // write double to the data output stream
            dos.writeDouble(d);         
         }
         
         // force bytes to the underlying stream
         dos.flush();
         
         // create file input stream
         is = new FileInputStream("F:\\test.txt");
         
         // create new data input stream
         dis = new DataInputStream(is);
         
         // read till end of the stream
         while(dis.available()>0) {
         
            // read double
            double c = dis.readDouble();
            
            // print
            System.out.print(c + " ");
         }
         
      } catch(Exception e) {
         // if any I/O error occurs
         e.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
         // releases all system resources from the streams
         if(is!=null)
            is.close();
         if(dos!=null)
            is.close();
         if(dis!=null)
            dis.close();
         if(fos!=null)
            fos.close();
      }
   }
}

Output

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

java.io.IOException: Stream Closed
	at java.base/java.io.FileOutputStream.writeBytes(Native Method)
	at java.base/java.io.FileOutputStream.write(FileOutputStream.java:354)
	at java.base/java.io.DataOutputStream.writeLong(DataOutputStream.java:224)
	at java.base/java.io.DataOutputStream.writeDouble(DataOutputStream.java:259)
	at DataOutputStreamDemo.main(DataOutputStreamDemo.java:30)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at DataOutputStreamDemo.main(DataOutputStreamDemo.java:60)

As underlying stream FileOutputStream is not supporting write to stream after closing it, we get exception in program execution.
