Nio: Get the current position of the buffer

Buffer class provides ‘position’ method to get the current position of the buffer.

Test.java

package com.sample.nio;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

public class Test {

 public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
  ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(10);

  System.out.println("Current position of the buffer " + byteBuffer.position());

  System.out.println("Adding two elements to the buffer");
  byteBuffer.put((byte) 'H');
  byteBuffer.put((byte) 'I');

  System.out.println("Current position of the buffer " + byteBuffer.position());

 }
}

Output

Current position of the buffer 0

Adding two elements to the buffer

Current position of the buffer 2
