PipedWriter connect(PipedReader) in Java

connect(PipedReader): This method is available in the java.io.PipedWriter class of java.

Syntax:

void java.io.PipedWriter.connect(PipedReader snk) throws IOException

This method takes one argument. This method connects this piped writer to a receiver. If this object is already connected to some other piped reader, an IOException is thrown.

If snk is an unconnected piped reader and src is an unconnected piped writer, they may be connected by either the call:

src.connect(snk) or the call: snk.connect(src).

The two calls have the same effect.

Parameters: One parameter is required for this method.

snk: the piped reader to connect to.

Returns: NA

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

Approach

Java

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PipedReader;
import java.io.PipedWriter;

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

        PipedWriter pipedWriter = new PipedWriter();

        PipedReader snk = new PipedReader();
        pipedWriter.connect(snk);

        System.out.println("Connecting the piped write");
        pipedWriter.close();

    }
}

Output:

Connecting the piped write
