• The following table illustrates values that result from constructors and Write( )/Clear( ) methods:

  Method/Constructor	Values
  	Obj:Length	Obj:BytesWritten
  Obj = NEW MemoryOutputStream()	0	0
  Obj:Write(“12345”)	5	5
  Obj:Clear()	0	0
  Obj = NEW MemoryOutputStream(100)	100	0
  Obj:Write(“12345678”)	100	8
  Obj:Clear()	100	0
