// Writer flush() method

import java.io.*;

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

        // The string to be written in the writer
        String str = "GeeksForGeeks";

                = new PrintWriter(System.out);

            // Write the above string to this writer
            // This will put the string in the writer
            // till it is printed on the console
            writer.write(str);

            // Now clear the writer
            // using flush() method
            writer.flush();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// Writer flush() method

import java.io.*;

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

            // Create a Writer instance

            writer.flush();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}
