IntBuffer rewind() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 26 Aug, 2019
The rewind() method of java.nio.IntBuffer Class is used to rewind this buffer. The position is set to zero and the mark is discarded. Invoke this method before a sequence of channel-write or get operations, assuming that the limit has already been set appropriately. Invoking this method neither changes nor discards the mark's value. Syntax: 
public final IntBuffer rewind()
Parameter: The method do not take any parameter. Return Value: This method returns this buffer. Below are the examples to illustrate the rewind() method: Examples 1: Java 
// Java program to demonstrate
// rewind() method

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

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // defining and allocating IntBuffer
        // using allocate() method
        IntBuffer intBuffer
            = IntBuffer.allocate(4);

        // put char value in intBuffer
        // using put() method
        intBuffer.put(10);
        intBuffer.put(20);

        // print the int buffer
        System.out.println(
            "Buffer before operation: "
            + Arrays.toString(
                  intBuffer.array())
            + "\nPosition: "
            + intBuffer.position()
            + "\nLimit: "
            + intBuffer.limit());

        // rewind the Buffer
        // using rewind() method
        intBuffer.rewind();

        // print the intbuffer
        System.out.println(
            "\nBuffer after operation: "
            + Arrays.toString(
                  intBuffer.array())
            + "\nPosition: "
            + intBuffer.position()
            + "\nLimit: "
            + intBuffer.limit());
    }
}
Output: 
Buffer before operation: [10, 20, 0, 0]
Position: 2
Limit: 4

Buffer after operation: [10, 20, 0, 0]
Position: 0
Limit: 4
Examples 2: Java 
// Java program to demonstrate
// rewind() method

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

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // defining and allocating IntBuffer
        // using allocate() method
        IntBuffer intBuffer
            = IntBuffer.allocate(5);

        // put int value in IntBuffer
        // using put() method
        intBuffer.put(10);
        intBuffer.put(20);
        intBuffer.put(30);

        // mark will be going to
        // discarded by rewind()
        intBuffer.mark();

        // print the buffer
        System.out.println(
            "Buffer before operation: "
            + Arrays.toString(
                  intBuffer.array())
            + "\nPosition: "
            + intBuffer.position()
            + "\nLimit: "
            + intBuffer.limit());

        // Rewind the Buffer
        // using rewind() method
        intBuffer.rewind();

        // print the buffer
        System.out.println(
            "\nBuffer after operation: "
            + Arrays.toString(
                  intBuffer.array())
            + "\nPosition: "
            + intBuffer.position()
            + "\nLimit: "
            + intBuffer.limit());
    }
}
Output: 
Buffer before operation: [10, 20, 30, 0, 0]
Position: 3
Limit: 5

Buffer after operation: [10, 20, 30, 0, 0]
Position: 0
Limit: 5
