If we want buffered output to a file, should we wrap the printWriter around a BufferedWriter like this:
The javadoc doesn't mention if PrintWriter is buffered or not. I want to use PrintWriter for writing formatted text string to a file but want it to be buffered.
Since you're using a BufferedWriter, it doesn't matter much whether the PrintWriter is buffered (and I think it isn't, because that's what BW is for). The important thing is that the data does get buffered before being written to disk, and that's what happens here.
I attached my pw to the console output.This code will not print the output to the screen because pw.flush() is not invoked(commented as you see).If you uncomment it,you'll see the output on the screen becuase it "flushes" its buffer and sends the data to the output stream which is the console output here.

You are HERE! The other map is obviously wrong. Better confirm with this tiny ad:
