The isLegalReplacement() method is a built-in method of the java.nio.charset.CharsetEncoder gives us an indication on whether or not the given byte array is a legal replacement value for this encoder. A replacement is legal if it is possible to decode the replacement into one or more sixteen-bit Unicode characters.
Syntax:
public boolean isLegalReplacement(byte[] repl)
Parameters: The function accepts a mandatory parameter repl which specifies the byte array to be tested.
Return Value: The function returns a boolean value. It returns true if the byte array is a legal replacement of the encoder, else it returns false.
Below is the implementation of the above function:
Program 1:
// Java program to implement // the above function import java.nio.CharBuffer;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.nio.charset.CharsetEncoder;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
// Gets the encoder
CharsetEncoder encoder = Charset.forName( "UTF8" ).newEncoder();
// Prints if legal or not
System.out.println(encoder.isLegalReplacement( new byte [] {}));
}
} |
true
Program 2:
// Java program to implement // the above function import java.nio.CharBuffer;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.nio.charset.CharsetEncoder;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
// Gets the encoder
CharsetEncoder encoder = Charset.forName( "US-ASCII" ).newEncoder();
// Prints if legal or not
System.out.println(encoder.isLegalReplacement( new byte [] {}));
}
} |
true
