Learn Java Programming - FileOutputStream Tutorial

All of my I/O tutorials up until now have been dealing with Character Streams. In this tutorial I will begin to introduce you to writing Byte data to a file. The primary purpose of the FileOutputStream class is to write an output stream to a file. This tutorial will demonstrate the write(int b) method to create a BMP image file from scratch. By the end of this tutorial you will have created an 8x8 pixel striped-color bitmap image file. The FileOutputStream class implements AutoClosable so we can use the try-with-resources type exception handling. I will demonstrate the other overloaded versions of the write() method in my FileInputStream tutorial.
