3. Java.io 3 Class Description BufferedInputStream Used for creating an internal buffer array. It supports the mark and reset methods. BufferedOutputStream Used for byte write to output stream. It implements a buffered output stream. BufferedReader Used to read text from character input stream and buffering characters. It also reads characters, arrays and lines. BufferedWriter Used to write text from character output stream and buffering characters. It also writes characters, arrays and lines.

4. Java.io 4 Class Description File Shows a file and directory pathnames. FileReader Used for reading characters in file. FileWriter Used for writing characters in file. InputStream Represents an input stream of bytes. InputStreamReader Used to read bytes and decode them into characters. OutputStream Represents an output stream of bytes. OutputStreamWriter Used to write bytes and decode them into characters.
