Buffer hasRemaining() methods in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 16 Jul, 2019

The hasRemaining() method of java.nio.Buffer class is used to tell whether there are any elements between the current position and the limit.

Syntax:

public final boolean hasRemaining()

Returns: This method will return true if, and only if, there is at least one element remaining in this buffer.

Below are the examples to illustrate the hasRemaining() method:

Examples 1:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// hasRemaining() method 
  
import java.nio.*; 
import java.util.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Declaring the capacity of the ByteBuffer 
        int capacity = 10; 
  
        // creating object of bytebuffer 
        // and allocating size capacity 
        ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity); 
  
        // putting the value in bytebuffer 
        bb.put((byte)10); 
        bb.put((byte)20); 
        bb.rewind(); 
  
        // Typecast bytebuffer to Buffer 
        Buffer buffer = (Buffer)bb; 
  
        // checking buffer is backed by array or not 
        boolean isRemain = buffer.hasRemaining(); 
  
        // checking if else condition 
        if (isRemain) 
            System.out.println("there is at least one "
                               + "element remaining "
                               + "in this buffer"); 
        else
            System.out.println("there is no "
                               + "element remaining "
                               + "in this buffer"); 
    } 
} 

Output:

there is at least one element remaining in this buffer

Examples 2:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// hasRemaining() method 
  
import java.nio.*; 
import java.util.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Declaring the capacity of the ByteBuffer 
        int capacity = 0; 
  
        // creating object of bytebuffer 
        // and allocating size capacity 
        ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity); 
  
        // Typecast bytebuffer to Buffer 
        Buffer buffer = (Buffer)bb; 
  
        // checking buffer is backed by array or not 
        boolean isRemain = buffer.hasRemaining(); 
  
        // checking if else condition 
        if (isRemain) 
            System.out.println("there is at least one "
                               + "element remaining"
                               + " in this buffer"); 
        else
            System.out.println("there is no "
                               + "element remaining"
                               + " in this buffer"); 
    } 
} 

Output:

there is no element remaining in this buffer
