If you are dealing with data that includes other types than just strings or characters, use
the input and output streams shown in Figures 4.3 and 4.4. However, if the data you are
streaming is either characters or strings, use the reader and writer classes shown in Figures
4.5 and 4.6. Notice the readers subclass, the abstract
Reader
class, and the writers subclass,
the
Writer
class.
