Do I have to close FileOutputStream which is wrapped by PrintStream?

Question

I\'m using FileOutputStream with PrintStream like this:

class PrintStreamDemo {  
    public static void main(String args[]) { 
            


        

Answer 1

No you dont need to. PrintStream.close method automatically closes the underlining output stream.

Check the API.
