Java Programming for Complete Beginners - Java 16 - Step 03 - Read Content from a File - Files readAllLines and Lines Me

The video tutorial explains how to set up files and directories for reading, introduces the New IO (NIO) methods for reading files, and discusses efficient file processing using streams and filters. It highlights the advantages of using NIO for handling large files by processing them line by line instead of loading them entirely into memory. The tutorial also demonstrates how to apply functional operations like map and filter to process file content effectively.

What is the first step in setting up a file for reading in the tutorial?

• Writing a new function

• Installing a new library

• Creating a new project

• Copying an existing file

What was a major challenge with file reading before the introduction of NIO?

• Lack of documentation

• Complexity due to multiple streams

• Incompatibility with modern systems

• High memory usage

What does the Files.readAllLines method return?

• A file object

• A stream of bytes

• A single string

• A list of strings

Why might using Files.readAllLines be inefficient for large files?

• It reads all lines into memory at once

• It requires a lot of disk space

• It does not support text files

• It is slower than other methods

What is a key advantage of using Files.lines over Files.readAllLines?

• It processes lines one by one

• It reads files faster

• It supports more file formats

• It requires less code

Which functional operation can be performed on a stream returned by Files.lines?

• Concatenate

• Sort

• Map

• Reverse

What can be used to filter lines when processing a file with Files.lines?

• A constant

• A variable

• A predicate

• A loop
