FloatBuffer reset() methods in Java with Examples

The reset() method of java.nio.FloatBuffer Class is used to reset the position of this buffer to a position which was previously-marked. In this, the marked value is neither changed nor discarded. It helps to recover the previously marked value in the buffer.

Syntax:

public final FloatBuffer reset()

Parameters: The method does not take any parameters.

Return Value: This method returns this buffer.

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

Examples 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// reset() method

import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        try {

            float[] farr = { 10.5f, 20.5f, 30.5f, 40.5f };

            // creating object of FloatBuffer
            // and allocating size capacity
            FloatBuffer fb = FloatBuffer.wrap(farr);

            // try to set the position at index 2
            fb.position(2);

            // Set this buffer mark position
            // using mark() method
            fb.mark();

            // try to set the position at index 4
            fb.position(4);

            // display position
            System.out.println("position before reset: "
                               + fb.position());

            // try to call reset() to restore
            // to the position we marked
            fb.reset();

            // display position
            System.out.println("position after reset: "
                               + fb.position());
        }

        catch (InvalidMarkException e) {
            System.out.println("new position is less than "
                               + "the position we"
                               + " marked before ");
            System.out.println("Exception throws: " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

position before reset: 4
position after reset: 2

Examples 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// reset() method

import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        try {

            float[] farr = { 10.5f, 20.5f, 30.5f, 40.5f };

            // creating object of FloatBuffer
            // and allocating size capacity
            FloatBuffer fb = FloatBuffer.wrap(farr);

            // try to set the position at index 2
            fb.position(2);

            // Set this buffer mark position
            // using mark() method
            fb.mark();

            // try to set the position at index 4
            fb.position(1);

            // display position
            System.out.println("position before reset: "
                               + fb.position());

            // try to call reset() to restore
            // to the position we marked
            fb.reset();

            // display position
            System.out.println("position after reset: "
                               + fb.position());
        }

        catch (InvalidMarkException e) {
            System.out.println("\nnew position is less than "
                               + "the position we"
                               + " marked before ");
            System.out.println("Exception throws: " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

position before reset: 1

new position is less than the position we marked before 
Exception throws: java.nio.InvalidMarkException
