The ioException() method is a built-in method of the java.util.Formatter which returns the IOException last thrown by this formatter’s Appendable. If the destination’s append() method never throws IOException, then this method will always return null.

Syntax:

public IOException ioException()

Parameters: The function accepts no parameter.

Return Value: The function returns the IOException which was last thrown by the Formatter’s appendable.

Below is the implementation of the above function:

Program 1:




// Java program to implement
// the above function
  
import java.util.Formatter;
import java.util.Locale;
  
public class Main {
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Get the string Buffer
        StringBuffer buffer
            = new StringBuffer();
  
        // Object creation
        Formatter frmt
            = new Formatter(buffer,
                            Locale.CANADA);
  
        // Format a new string
        String name = "My name is Gopal Dave";
        frmt.format("What is your name? \n%s !",
                    name);
  
        // Print the Formatted string
        System.out.println(frmt);
  
        // flushes the formatter
        frmt.flush();
        System.out.println("Flushed");
    }
}


Output:

What is your name? 
My name is Gopal Dave !
Flushed

Program 2:




// Java program to implement
// the above function
  
import java.util.Formatter;
import java.util.Locale;
  
public class Main {
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Get the string Buffer
        StringBuffer buffer
            = new StringBuffer();
  
        // Object creation
        Formatter frmt
            = new Formatter(buffer,
                            Locale.CANADA);
  
        // Format a new string
        String name = "My name is Gopal Dave";
        frmt.format("What is your name? \n%s !",
                    name);
  
        System.out.println("The last exception thrown: "
                           + frmt.ioException());
  
        // Closes the format
        frmt.close();
    }
}


Output:

The last exception thrown: null
Output:

The last exception thrown: null
