Signals that an end of file or end of stream has been reached
unexpectedly during input.
This exception is mainly used by data input streams, which
generally expect a binary file in a specific format, and for which
an end of stream is an unusual condition. Most other input streams
return a special value on end of stream.
Note that some input operations react to end-of-file by returning
a distinguished value (such as -1 ) rather than by
throwing an exception. |
