    CharArrayReader car = new CharArrayReader(ch);

    // read and print the characters from the stream
    System.out.println(car.read());
    System.out.println(car.read());

    // mark() is invoked at this position
    car.mark(0);
    System.out.println("Mark() is invoked");
    System.out.println(car.read());
    System.out.println(car.read());

    // reset() is invoked at this position
    car.reset();
    System.out.println("Reset() is invoked");
    System.out.println(car.read());
    System.out.println(car.read());
