DataInputStream readUnsignedShort() in Java

readUnsignedShort(): This method is available in the java.io.DataInputStream class of Java.

Syntax:

int java.io.DataInputStream.readUnsignedShort() throws IOException

This method sees the general contract of the readUnsignedShortmethod of DataInput. Bytes for this operation are read from the contained input stream.

Parameters: NA

Returns: the next two bytes of this input stream, interpreted as an unsigned 16-bit integer.

Throws:

1. EOFException - if this input stream reaches the end before reading two bytes.

2. IOException - the stream has been closed and the contained input stream does not support reading after close, or another I/O error occurs.

Approach

Java

import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class DataInputStreamreadUnsignedShort {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        InputStream in = new FileInputStream("hello.txt");
        DataInputStream dataInputStream = 
                             new DataInputStream(in);

        System.out.println(dataInputStream.readUnsignedShort());

        dataInputStream.close();
    }
}
