Java 8 exam - which classes implement Closeable?

[Anupam Banerji]

Hi, I know that IO classes implement the Closeable interface, and I agree that learning things for an exam isn't the best way to go, but I'm curious: is there a list of classes in Java 8 that implement Closeable?

Am I going to have to go into the exam knowing just those that I've looked at in the OCP book by Oracle?

Anupam,
Welcome to CodeRanch!

The JavaDoc lists the Java 8 classes that come with the JDK that implement Closable. Luckily, you don't need to know most of them for the exam!The study guides distill what you need to know for the exam.

Also, the JDBC classes like ResultSet implement AutoCloseable. There's a list for that too.

Thanks very much Jeanne!  Loved your book, by the way!

This reminds me to check the Javadoc before I post elementary questions...

First off, you probably need AutoCloseable, not Closeable

Next, open Eclipse, Shift + Ctrl + T type AutoCloseable

Then F4

Enjoy the list (see attached)
