The mark() method of java.nio.Buffer Class is used to set this buffer’s mark at its position.
Syntax: 
 
public Buffer mark()
Return Value: This method returns this buffer.
Below are the examples to illustrate the mark() method:
Examples 1:
 
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// mark() methodimport java.nio.*;import java.util.*;public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        try {            byte[] barr = { 10, 20, 30, 40 };            // creating object of ByteBuffer            // and allocating size capacity            ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(barr);            // Typecasting ByteBuffer into Buffer            Buffer bb1 = (Buffer)bb;            // try to set the position at index 2            bb1.position(2);            // Set this buffer mark position            // using mark() method            bb1.mark();            // try to set the position at index 4            bb1.position(4);            // display position            System.out.println("position before reset: "                               + bb1.position());            // try to call reset() to restore            // to the position we marked            bb1.reset();            // display position            System.out.println("position after reset: "                               + bb1.position());        }        catch (InvalidMarkException e) {            System.out.println("new position is less than "                               + "the position we marked before ");            System.out.println("Exception throws: " + e);        }    }} | 
position before reset: 4 position after reset: 2
Examples 2: To demonstrate InvalidMarkException
 
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// mark() methodimport java.nio.*;import java.util.*;public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        try {            byte[] barr = { 10, 20, 30, 40 };            // creating object of ByteBuffer            // and allocating size capacity            ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(barr);            // Typecasting ByteBuffer into Buffer            Buffer bb1 = (Buffer)bb;            // try to set the position at index 2            bb1.position(2);            // Set this buffer mark position            // using mark() method            bb1.mark();            // try to set the position at index 4            bb1.position(1);            // display position            System.out.println("position before reset: "                               + bb1.position());            // try to call reset() to restore            // to the position we marked            bb1.reset();            // display position            System.out.println("position after reset: "                               + bb1.position());        }        catch (InvalidMarkException e) {            System.out.println("\new position is less than "                               + "the position we marked before ");            System.out.println("Exception throws: " + e);        }    }} | 
position before reset: 1 new position is less than the position we marked before Exception throws: java.nio.InvalidMarkException
