Below methods illustrates the working of flush() method:

Program 1:




// Java program to demonstrate
// PrintStream flush() method
  
import java.io.*;
  
class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // The string to be written in the Stream
        String str = "GeeksForGeeks";
  
        try {
  
            // Create a PrintStream instance
            PrintStream stream
                = new PrintStream(System.out);
  
            // Write the above string to this stream
            // This will put the string in the stream
            // till it is printed on the console
            stream.print(str);
  
            // Now clear the stream
            // using flush() method
            stream.flush();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}

import java.io.*;
  
class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        try {
  
            // Create a PrintStream instance
            PrintStream stream
                = new PrintStream(System.out);
  
            // Write the char to this stream
            // This will put the char in the stream
            // till it is printed on the console
            stream.write(65);
  
            // Now clear the stream
            // using flush() method
            stream.flush();
