Approach

Java

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PipedInputStream;

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

        PipedInputStream pipedInputStream =
                              new PipedInputStream();

        pipedInputStream.close();
