Hi Bert & Kathy! Are DataInputStream & DataOutputStream included in SCJP 5.0 and 6.0?

Hi Bert/Kathy/Fellow Ranchers,

I just want to clarify if DataInputStream and DataOutputStream are still included in SCJP 5.0 and 6.0. I've just read from Chapter 6 of KB Book that they're no longer included. Please give me your assurance.

Thanks!

I can't comment on SCJP 6, but the only IO classes you need to be interested in for SCJP 5 are character IO (File, FileReader, FileWriter etc) and serialization (FileInputStream, ObjectInputStream etc).

Hi Jart,

Good question! You're right, we say in the book that DataInputStream and DataOutputStream are not on the SCJP 5 exam. Well the good news is they are also NOT on the SCJP 6 exam. This is a legacy issue, the objectives were created before the exams, and the exam creation team decided not to include questions on these two classes, and we forgot to remove them from the objectives.

hth,

Bert

Hi Bert/Ian,

Great! Thanks for connecting with this thread. I'm so thankful for getting the answer right from you! I'm taking the SCJP 6.0 by early April. However, I've just finished Chapter 5 of the KB book and currently studying this Objectives in Chapter 6 and it's my first pass. Well, I'm determined to repeat the book even for just 3 serious passes before taking the exam. I hope I could do so. And I found this forum really encouraging to me!

Thanks!
