Understanding Streams

Input Stream

Output Stream

Streams

I Sequence of bytes.

I Input Stream : Data is received by some device to program.

I Output Stream : Data is sent by the program to device.

I Stream provides a sort of abstraction.

I Recall System.out and System.in

I System.in object of InputStream and System.out andSystem.err is object of PrintStream class.

Files

I File class is provided by java.io package.

I An abstract reprsentation of file and directory pathnames.

I Note File object is not for reading / writing files.

I Used for obtaining information associated with file likepermission, time and date, path.

I Directory too is treated as file and have additional methodlist() to list the filename in directory.

I public File(String pathname)

public File(String parent, String child)

public File(File parent, String child)

public File(URI uri
