ShortBuffer reset() method in Java with Examples

The reset() method of java.nio.ShortBuffer Class is used to reset this buffer’s position to the previously-marked position. The mark’s value remain unchanged during this process.

Syntax:

public final ShortBuffer reset()

Parameter: This method do not accept any parameter.

Return Value: This method returns this buffer.

Below are the examples to illustrate the reset() method:

Examples 1:




// Java program to demonstrate
// reset() method
  
import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;
  
public class GFG {
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        try {
  
            short[] carr = { 10, 20, 30, 40 };
  
            // creating object of ShortBuffer
            // and allocating size capacity
            ShortBuffer cb = ShortBuffer.wrap(carr);
  
            // try to set the position at index 2
            cb.position(2);
  
            // Set this buffer mark position
            // using mark() method
            cb.mark();
  
            // try to set the position at index 4
            cb.position(4);
  
            // display position
            System.out.println("position before reset: "
                               + cb.position());
  
            // try to call reset() to restore
            // to the position we marked
            cb.reset();
  
            // display position
            System.out.println("position after reset: "
                               + cb.position());
        }
  
        catch (InvalidMarkException e) {
            System.out.println("new position is less than "
                               + "the position we"
                               + " marked before ");
            System.out.println("Exception throws: " + e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

position before reset: 4
position after reset: 2

Examples 2:




// Java program to demonstrate
// reset() method
  
import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;
  
public class GFG {
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        try {
  
            short[] carr = { 10, 20, 30, 40 };
  
            // creating object of ShortBuffer
            // and allocating size capacity
            ShortBuffer cb = ShortBuffer.wrap(carr);
  
            // try to set the position at index 2
            cb.position(2);
  
            // Set this buffer mark position
            // using mark() method
            cb.mark();
  
            // try to set the position at index 4
            cb.position(1);
  
            // display position
            System.out.println("position before reset: "
                               + cb.position());
  
            // try to call reset() to restore
            // to the position we marked
            cb.reset();
  
            // display position
            System.out.println("position after reset: "
                               + cb.position());
        }
  
        catch (InvalidMarkException e) {
            System.out.println("\nnew position is less than "
                               + "the position we"
                               + " marked before ");
            System.out.println("Exception throws: " + e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

position before reset: 1

new position is less than the position we marked before 
Exception throws: java.nio.InvalidMarkException
