RandomAccessFile Class writeDouble() method

  • writeDouble() method is available in java.io package.
  • writeDouble() method is used to first change the float value to an integer value by using floatToIntBits() and then write the integer value to the file as a 4 byte.
  • writeDouble() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with class object only and if we try to access the method with class name then we will get an error.
  • writeDouble() method may throw an exception at the time of writing float value.
    IOException: This exception may throw an exception while performing input/output operation.

Syntax:

    public final void writeFloat(float val);

Parameter(s):

  • float val – represents the float value to write.

Return value:

The return type of this method is void, it returns nothing.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of void writeFloat(float val) method of
// RandomAccessFile

import java.io.*;
class RAFWriteFloat {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  float fl = 12548.2658 f;
  // Instantiate a random access file
  // object with file name and permissions
  RandomAccessFile ra_f = new RandomAccessFile("e:/includehelp.txt", "rw");

  // By using writeFloat() method is to 
  // write float value to the file

  ra_f.writeFloat(fl);

  // by using seek() method is to 
  // set the current file indicator
  // from where read/write could 
  // start i.e. we set here 0 so reading
  // will be done from 0 till EOF
  ra_f.seek(0);

  // By using readFloat() method is to 
  // read a float from this file
  System.out.print("ra_f.readFloat(): " + ra_f.readFloat());

  // By using close() method isto
  // close this stream ran_f
  ra_f.close();
 }
}

Output

ra_f.readFloat(): 12548.266
