Download Java byte streams data stored on an external storage medium (disks

Java byte streams data stored on an external storage medium (disks or network socket) in bytes. Byte
stream classes use two-class hierarchical structures – one for reading and the other for writing. Each of these
classes has subclasses of their own. Each of the subclasses is designed to handle different types of devices
such as files and network connections. The classes FileInputStream.java and FileOutputStream.java are
used for reading and writing data files, respectively.
The abstract class InputStream.java is the super class of all byte input streams. It provides the basic
input methods for reading bytes from an input stream. Subclasses of this class override some or all of these
basic methods for their implementation.
