The slice() method of java.nio.LongBuffer Class is used to creates a new Long buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of the given buffer’s content.
The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer’s current position. Changes to this buffer’s content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa. The two buffers’ position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer’s position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of Long integers remaining in this buffer, and its mark will be undefined. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.
Syntax :
public abstract LongBuffer slice()
Return Value: This method returns the new Long buffer.
Below are the examples to illustrate the slice() method:
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate // slice() method import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Declaring the capacity of the LongBuffer
int capacity = 10 ;
// Creating the LongBuffer
try {
// creating object of Longbuffer
// and allocating size capacity
LongBuffer ib1 = LongBuffer.allocate(capacity);
// putting the value in Longbuffer
ib1.put( 8 );
ib1.put( 9 );
// prLong the LongBuffer
System.out.println( "Original LongBuffer: "
+ Arrays.toString(ib1.array()));
// prLong the LongBuffer position
System.out.println( "position: " + ib1.position());
// prLong the LongBuffer capacity
System.out.println( "capacity: " + ib1.capacity());
// Creating a shared subsequence buffer of given LongBuffer
// using slice() method
LongBuffer ib2 = ib1.slice();
// prLong the shared subsequence buffer
System.out.println( "shared subsequence LongBuffer: "
+ Arrays.toString(ib2.array()));
// prLong the LongBuffer position
System.out.println( "position: " + ib2.position());
// prLong the LongBuffer capacity
System.out.println( "capacity: " + ib2.capacity());
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println( "IllegalArgumentException catched" );
}
catch (ReadOnlyBufferException e) {
System.out.println( "ReadOnlyBufferException catched" );
}
}
