DataOutputStream.writeFloat(float v) has the following syntax.
public final void writeFloat(float v) throws IOException
In the following code shows how to use DataOutputStream.writeFloat(float v) method.
/*w w w . ja va2 s . c o m*/ import java.io.DataInputStream; import java.io.DataOutputStream; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { float[] fbuf = { 12.34f, 23.34f, 45.56f, 67.78f, 12.55f, 77.88f }; FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("c:\\test.txt"); DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(fos); for (float f : fbuf) { dos.writeFloat(f); } dos.flush(); InputStream is = new FileInputStream("c:\\test.txt"); DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is); while (dis.available() > 0) { float c = dis.readFloat(); System.out.print(c); } } }
