Use of I/O Streams: The primary use of I/O streams is to perform data transfer between a Java program and an external entity or another part of the same program. Common use cases include: File Operations: Reading data from files and writing data to files. Network Communication: Sending and receiving data over network connections (using Socket s which provide InputStream and OutputStream ). In-Memory Data Handling: Treating byte arrays or character arrays as sources or destinations of data. Data Conversion: Converting between byte streams and character streams using specified encodings. Buffering: Improving the efficiency of I/O operations by reading or writing data in larger chunks. Data Formatting: Writing formatted output using PrintStream and PrintW...
