Amit Singh · Answer

A Stream is an abstraction that either produces or consumes information. There are two types of Streams and they are:
Byte Streams: Provide a convenient means for handling input and output of bytes.
Byte Streams classes: Are defined by using two abstract classes, namely InputStream and OutputStream.
Character Streams: Provide a convenient means for handling input & output of characters.
Character Streams classes: Are defined by using two abstract classes, namely Reader and Writer.
