The finished() function of the Deflater class in java.util.zip returns true if the end of compression data output stream has been reached.
Function Signature:
public boolean finished()
Syntax:
d.finished();
Parameter: The function requires no parameter
Return Type: The function returns boolean value i.e. true if all the input is compressed and stored in the given buffer, else false.
Exception: The function does not throw any exception
Example 1: To demonstrate the use of finished() function
// Java program to demonstrate // the use of finished() function import java.util.zip.*; import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; class GFG { public static void main(String args[]) throws UnsupportedEncodingException { // deflater Deflater d = new Deflater(); // get the text String pattern = "Lazyroar" , text = "" ; // generate the text for ( int i = 0 ; i < 4 ; i++) text += pattern; // set the input for deflator d.setInput(text.getBytes( "UTF-8" )); // finish d.finish(); // output of finished function System.out.println( "end of compressed data " + "output stream reached :" + d.finished()); // output bytes byte output[] = new byte [ 1024 ]; // compress the data int size = d.deflate(output); // compressed String System.out.println( "Compressed String :" + new String(output) + "\n Size " + size); // original String System.out.println( "Original String :" + text + "\n Size " + text.length()); // output of finished function System.out.println( "end of compressed data " + "output stream reached :" + d.finished()); // end d.end(); } } |
Output:
end of compressed data output stream reached :false Compressed String :x?sOM?.N?/r???q?? Size 21 Original String :LazyroarLazyroarLazyroarLazyroar Size 52 end of compressed data output stream reached :true
