Answer:

No.

Of course, C++ is an industrial-strength language, so you would be able to write a C++ program that reads the file. But it would be a lot of trouble to do so.

IO Class Hierarchy

The diagram shows the top of the hierarchy for the java.io package. The dotted clouds are abstract classes. They act as base classes for specialized streams (to be discussed shortly).

IO hierarchy

Streams are byte-oriented or character-oriented. Each type has input streams and output streams.

  1. Byte-oriented streams.
    • Use for general-purpose input and output.
    • Data may be primitive data types or raw bytes.
  2. Character-oriented streams.
    • Specialized for character data.
    • Transforms data from/to 16 bit Java char used inside programs to UTF format used externally.
