ObjectInputStream readBoolean() method in Java with examples

The readBoolean() method of the ObjectInputStream class in Java reads a boolean from the stream.

Syntax:

public boolean readBoolean()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameter.

Return Value: This method returns the boolean that has been read.

Errors and Exceptions: The function throws two exceptions which is described below:

• EOFException: The function is thrown if the end of file is reached.
• IOException: The function is thrown if an I/O error has occurred.

Below program illustrate the above method:

Program 1:

// Java program to illustrate
// the above method

import java.io.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try {

            // create a new file
            // with an ObjectOutputStream
            FileOutputStream out
                = new FileOutputStream("gopal.txt");
            ObjectOutputStream out1
                = new ObjectOutputStream(out);

            // write
            out1.writeUTF("Geeks for Geeks");

            // Flushes the stream
            out1.flush();

            // create an ObjectInputStream
            // for the file
            ObjectInputStream example
                = new ObjectInputStream(
                    new FileInputStream("gopal.txt"));

            // Read from the stream
            for (int i = 0; i < example.available();) {
                System.out.print("" + (char)example.read());
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
