This module introduces you to streams that perform more complex operations on the bytes they read. Java provides efficient means to convert the appropriate number of bytes into an integer or a floating point number.
You will learn about the following:

1. How DataInputStreams and DataOutputStreams let you read and write numeric data
2. How to buffer streams for improved performance with the BufferedInputStream and BufferedOutputStream classes
3. How to connect input and output streams with the PipedStream class and to connect multiple input streams with the SequenceInputStream class
4. How to read and write byte arrays through the streams mechanism with the ByteArrayInputStream and ByteArrayOutputStream classes
