In Java, FileOutputStream and ObjectOutputStream are used for writing data to files, but they have different purposes and methods. Let's analyze each statement:
The FileOutputStream class is designed to write raw byte streams to files. The write method in FileOutputStream expects a parameter of type int or byte[]. Since "Today" is a String, passing it directly to fos.write("Today"); will cause a compilation error because there is no write method in FileOutputStream that accepts a String parameter.
The FileOutputStream class does not have a method named writeObject. The writeObject method is specific to ObjectOutputStream. Therefore, attempting to call fos.writeObject("Today"); will result in a compilation error.
The ObjectOutputStream class is used to write objects to an output stream. However, it does not have a write method that accepts a String parameter. The available write methods in ObjectOutputStream are for writing primitive data types and objects. Therefore, oos.write("Today"); will cause a compilation error.
The ObjectOutputStream class provides the writeObject method, which is used to serialize objects and write them to the output stream. Since String implements the Serializable interface, "Today" can be serialized. Therefore, oos.writeObject("Today"); is valid and compiles successfully.
In summary, the only statement that compiles without errors is oos.writeObject("Today");.
