ObjectInputStream readLong() in Java

readLong(): This method is available in the java.io.ObjectInputStream class of Java.

Syntax:

long java.io.ObjectInputStream.readLong() throws IOException

This method reads 64-bit long.

Parameters: NA

Returns: the reads 64-bit long.

Throws:

1. EOFException - If the end of the file is reached.

2. IOException - If an I/O error has occurred.

Approach 

Java

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

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

        InputStream in = new FileInputStream("D:\\hello.txt");
        ObjectInputStream objectInputStream = 
                        new ObjectInputStream(in);

        System.out.println(objectInputStream.readLong());
        objectInputStream.close();

    }
}

Output:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.EOFException
