Thread: Problem in FileInputStream

hello all! I am very beginner in java and learning File handling. I got some error in the program given below:
import java.io.*;
public class FileOutputStream {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

//set up file and stream
File outFile = new File("sample1.data");
FileOutputStream outStream = FileOutputStream(outFile); //Error:The constructor FileInputStream(File) is undefined
//data to output
byte[]byteArray = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80};
//write data to the stream
outStream.write(byteArray); //Error: Create a Method read
//output done, so close the stream
outStream.close(); /Er/ror: Create a Method close

}

}

This program is taken from some book but still error. can anyone explain the error??

Thanks
Ranjeet

Welcome to the forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code in code or highlight tags and other useful info for new members.

Please post your code correctly using code or highlight tags per the above link.

The primary problem is that you've named your class, FileOutputStream, the same as an existing SE class. Give your program another name.

import java.io.*;
public class FileOutputStream {
 
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
 
        //set up file and stream
         File outFile = new File("sample1.data");
         FileOutputStream outStream = FileOutputStream(outFile); //Error:The constructor FileInputStream(File) is undefined
         //data to output
          byte[]byteArray = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80};
         //write data to the stream
         outStream.write(byteArray); //Error: Create a Method read
         //output done, so close the stream
          outStream.close();    //Error: Create a Method close
 
      }
 
}

sorry for not writing code in proper way...actually i m using this forum first time.....

I changed the name of class still setting one error in

FileOutputStream outStream =  FileOutputStream(outFile);

error:The method FileOutputStream(File) is undefined for the type FileOutStreamTest
