JAVA中printwriter和out,Printwriter和OutputStream有什么区别？

First,we have PrintWriter

java.io.File f=new java.io.File("s.txt");

java.io.PrintWriter out=new java.io.PrintWriter(f);

out.print(5);

out.print(7);

out.close();

Then we have outputstream

java.io.File f=new java.io.File("s.txt");

java.io.FileOutputStream out=new java.io.FileOutputStream(f);

out.write(5);

out.write(7);

out.close();

Whats the difference?

OutputStreams are meant for binary data. Writers (including PrintWriter) are meant for text data.

You may not see the difference in your specific situation as you're calling PrintWriter.write(int) which writes a single character - if the character encoding you're using just maps characters to the same byte, for characters less than 127, then you'll see the same result. But if you give it a different encoding, then you'll see a difference.

PrintWriter is also different in that it suppresses IO exceptions - as does PrintStream, which is the binary stream equivalent of PrintWriter.
