    {
 
        // Array
        byte[] buffer = { 71, 69, 69, 75, 83 };
 
        // Create InputStream
        ByteArrayInputStream geek
            = new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer);
 
        // Use the function to get the number
        // of available
        int number = geek.available();
 
        // Print
        System.out.println("Use of available() method : "
                           + number);
    }
}


Output:

        // Create InputStream
        ByteArrayInputStream geek
            = new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer);
