ByteArrayInputStream

Question

Why there is error giving in this code at this point

1)at new ByteArrayInputStream(b);
2) when I am using bis.read() method

#code is this ....please check.

package bytearray;
import java.io.*;
public class ByteArrayInputStream {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
byte b[]= {'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'};
ByteArrayInputStream bis=new ByteArrayInputStream(b);
int x;

while((x=bis.read())!=-1) {
System.out.print((char)x);
}
bis.close();
}

}

Answer 1

So in your program you are importing java.io but then you declare a class with the same name ByteArrayInputStream that was already there in the standard library.
So you effectively overwrite the content of standard JDK :)
What is the solution? Change the name of your class and it will work fine.

Answer 2

import java.io.*;

public class Program { //debug
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
byte b[]= {'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'};
ByteArrayInputStream bis=new ByteArrayInputStream(b);
int x;
while((x=bis.read())!=-1) {
System.out.print((char)x);
}
}
}
