FloatBuffer slice() Method in Java with Examples

The java.nio.FloatBuffer Class's has slice() function .Using the FloatBuffer Class, a new float buffer with a shared subsequence of the content of the given buffer can be created. The present position of this buffer will be used as the starting point for the content of the new buffer. Content modifications performed in this buffer will appear in the new buffer and vice versa. The position, limit, and mark values of the two buffers will not depend on one another.

The position, capacity, and limit of the new buffer will all be equal to the number of floats that are remaining within it, while its mark will be undefined. The new buffer will be read-only if and only if this buffer is read-only, and it will be direct if and only if this buffer is direct.

Syntax:

Return Value: The new float buffer is returned by the above method.

Example :

The implementation of FloatBuffer from the java.nio package is shown in the Java code that is given. It starts by allocating a 12-capacity FloatBuffer and populating it with two float values. This buffer prints its current status, position, and capacity. Next, the slice() method is used to produce a sliced buffer (floatbuff2) from the original buffer (floatbuff1), which shares the content but reflects changes independently. The state, location, and capacity of this sliced buffer are then printed by the code. If an illegal argument arises, it is identified and handled with. Observe the following program.

Output:

 The Original FloatBuffer is given by: [9.51, 8.21, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] The position: 2 The capacity: 12 The shared subsequence FloatBufferis given by: [9.51, 8.21, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] The position: 0 The capacity: 10
