Buffer reset() methods in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 04 Feb, 2022

The reset() method of java.nio.Buffer Class is used to reset this buffer's position to the previously-marked position. Invoking this method neither changes nor discards the mark's value.
Syntax:

public Buffer reset()

Return Value: This method returns this buffer.
Below are the examples to illustrate the reset() method:
Examples 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// reset() method

import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try {

            byte[] barr = { 10, 20, 30, 40 };

            // creating object of ByteBuffer
            // and allocating size capacity
            ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(barr);

            // Typecast ByteBuffer to buffer
            Buffer buffer = (Buffer)bb;

            // try to set the position at index 2
            buffer.position(2);

            // Set this buffer mark position
            // using mark() method
            buffer.mark();

            // try to set the position at index 4
            buffer.position(4);

            // display position
            System.out.println(&quot;position before reset: &quot;
                               + buffer.position());

            // try to call reset() to restore
            // to the position we marked
            buffer.reset();

            // display position
            System.out.println(&quot;position after reset: &quot;
                               + buffer.position());
        }

        catch (InvalidMarkException e) {
            System.out.println(&quot;new position is less than &quot;
                               + &quot;the position we marked before &quot;);
            System.out.println(&quot;Exception throws: &quot; + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

position before reset: 4
position after reset: 2

Examples 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// reset() method

import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        try {

            byte[] barr = { 10, 20, 30, 40 };

            // creating object of ByteBuffer
            // and allocating size capacity
            ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(barr);

            // Typecast ByteBuffer to buffer
            Buffer buffer = (Buffer)bb;

            // try to set the position at index 2
            buffer.position(2);

            // Set this buffer mark position
            // using mark() method
            buffer.mark();

            // try to set the position at index 4
            buffer.position(1);

            // display position
            System.out.println(&quot;position before reset: &quot;
                               + buffer.position());

            // try to call reset() to restore
            // to the position we marked
            buffer.reset();

            // display position
            System.out.println(&quot;position after reset: &quot;
                               + buffer.position());
        }

        catch (InvalidMarkException e) {
            System.out.println(&quot;\new position is less than &quot;
                               + &quot;the position we marked before &quot;);
            System.out.println(&quot;Exception throws: &quot; + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

position before reset: 1

new position is less than the position we marked before 
Exception throws: java.nio.InvalidMarkException
