Read N Characters Given Read4 @LeetCode

The API: int read4(char *buf) reads 4 characters at a time from a file.
The return value is the actual number of characters read. For example, it returns 3 if there is only 3 characters left in the file.
By using the read4 API, implement the function int read(char *buf, int n) that reads n characters from the file.
Note:
The read function will only be called once for each test case.

/* The read4 API is defined in the parent class Reader4.
int read4(char[] buf); */
// Implement readline using read 4k
public class Read4KI {
//public class Read4KI extends Reader4 {
/**
* @param buf Destination buffer
* @param n Maximum number of characters to read
* @return The number of characters read
*/
public int read(char[] buf, int n) {
char[] buffer = new char[4];
boolean eof = true;
int total = 0;
while (eof && total < n) {
int temp = read4(buffer);
if (temp < 4) {
eof = false;
}
int bytes = Math.min(n - total, temp);
System.arraycopy(buffer, 0, buf, total, bytes);
total += bytes;
}
return total;
}
// API funciton
public int read4(char[] buf) {
return 0;
}
}
