I/O AGAIN

[Hades Pan]

Import java.io.*;
class Happy {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
File f = new File(Test.txt);
OutputStream o=new FileOutputStream(f);
}
catch(IOException e) { }
}
}
What happens when this code compiles and run?
a) Compilation error.
b) The code compiles and runs successfully but no file is created.
c) A file with zero length is created.
d) The code compiles but there will be a RuntimeException because there
is no matching constructor for the FileInputStream.

a - compilation error.

Hi Hades,
Assuming you made some typing mistakes:
Import should be import, and
Quotes are required around the Test.txt parameter to File.
I remember this question from some mock. The correct answer, given the above corrections, is that an empty file will be created.
The new File call will not create a file on the existing OS, but the OutputStream will.
Regards,
Manfred.

it results in compile time error caz
Test.txt should be wrapped into " "
second thing is that though OutputStream is parent of FileOutputStream and implicit conversion is valid. but we must remember that OutputStream is an abstract class so it can not be instantiated.

Ans will be C..
OutputStream though it is abstract still
OutputStream o = new FileOutputStream(new File("java.txt"));
will work
