Streams and Files
A file represents organized collection of data. The main advantage of a file is to store data permanently. Once data is stored on Hard Disk, or CD or any other secondary storage media, it is stored permanently. Files are useful to store data on secondary storage media. 
 
Once a file is created the data of the file can be shared by various programs to display various reports.
Streams are two types:-
1. Byte oriented streams.(supports byte formatted data to transfer)
2. Character oriented stream.(supports character formatted data to transfer)
Byte oriented streams :
Java.io.FileInputStream
To read the data from the destination file to the java application we have to use FileInputSream class.
To read the data from the .txt file we have to read() method.

Java.io.FileOutputStream:-
To write the data to the destination file we have to use the FileOutputStream.
To write the data to the destination file we have to use write() method.

Java FileOutputStream program
import java.io.FileOutputStream; 
public class FileOutputStreamExample { 
public static void main(String args[]){ 
try{ 
FileOutputStream fout=new FileOutputStream("D:\\text.txt"); 
fout.write(65); 
fout.close(); 
System.out.println("success..."); 
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);} 
} 
} 
Output :
success
FileOutputStream in write string
import java.io.FileOutputStream; 
public class Test{ 
public static void main(String args[]){ 
try{ 
FileOutputStream fout=new FileOutputStream("D:\\text.txt"); 
String s="Welcome to freetimelearn."; 
byte b[]=s.getBytes();//converting string into byte array 
fout.write(b); 
fout.close(); 
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);} 
} 
} 
Output :
Now creating file is text.txt and write in Welcome to freetimelearn
