Java program to create a zip file

So I was bored last night and thought I should write a code that creates a file and puts it into a zip file. So its very simple and here is the code in Java:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;

public class WriteZip {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("file.zip");
        ZipOutputStream zout = new ZipOutputStream(fout);
        ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry("test.doc");
        zout.putNextEntry(ze);
        zout.closeEntry();
        zout.close();

    }

}

• So what happens here is that we create a FileOutputStream object which i called fout. This is the object that will create our file.zip. 

• The next step is to create a ZipOutputStream which is an object that takes our FileOutputStream object called fout.
• Now we create a zip entry which is a new file called test.doc 
• We then put this zip entry into our zipoutput stream,
• Lastly we close our zout
