Chapter 11 Objectives After you have read and studied this chapter, you should be able to Include a FileDialog object in your program to let the user specify a file. Write bytes to a file and read them back from the file using FileOutputStream and FileInputStream. Write values of primitive data types to a file and read them back from the file using DataOutputStream and DataInputStream
FLIP-FLOPS Flip-flops are digital devices that have the ability to store binary information after the excitation input has changed. They are considered to be the basic memory cell for the majority of electronic binary data storage applications. This section explores the flip-flop from a functional perspective
Synchronous sequential circuit memory, usually consisting of flip-flops, update circuit states information All flip-flops share a common clock pulse input The clock input is not a binary value representing the time of day but rather a\synchronous\train of pulses. Synchronous memory changes its data only at certain time intervals The flip-flops can change state only on a clock pulse edge
