did they catch IOException in this program ? I don't think so they just throws IOException(Checked exception) am I correct ?

What should I use in finally? 1. try catch or 2.if( in !=null) condition?

OR

If try catch then should I write separate try catch for each closing of objects ? or one in common?

Rather importing this

If I import directly will this import slow down performance of my code. Though that could be in nanoseconds or byte memory usage difference ?

Did you run the code? What happened when you run the code, any exception comes?

finally {
if (in != null) {
in.close();
}
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
}



This is better as otherwise NPE could come.

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

If I import directly
import java.io.*;



Import specific class which requires not all

Don't use either. Use try-with-resources instead:


If you want to copy a file, you should probably use java.nio.file.Files.copy(Path, Path, CopyOption...) instead.

@ Stephan yes in my program I used try with resource while doing program and wrote try and catch( IOExeption) in that try and closed those objects by writing finally in that same try block as those FileInputOutput object is local to try. In JLS they mentioned

Since xanadu.txt contains character data, the best approach is to use character streams,

but as first program of I/O they recommended to use byte streams as stream types are built on byte streams. Here is the source link

No, that is quite incorrect. If there is a null exception you will not suffer an IOException.

NullPointerException will occur if specified file is not available, hope I'm correct?

No. You will suffer a file not found exception.

Ops ! when an object of a class has NULL value in it and if I try to use that object to access its method then it will give NullPointerException.
