2. Can data flow through a given stream in both directions?


a.    No; a stream has one direction only, input or output.
b.    No; streams only work for output.

a.    Program stream
b.    Conduit
c.    Pipe
d.    Channel

4. Can a stream act as a data source for another stream?


a.    No. Streams must be connected directly to physical devices.
b.    No. Streams do not deal with data.
c.    Yes. Some streams can be connected together.
d.    Yes. An input stream can be connected to an output stream.
5. What is a buffer?
a.    A section of memory used as a staging area for input or output data.
b.    The cable that connects a data source to the bus.

input?
a.    InputStream
b.    OutputStream

9. Is the character data used inside a Java program exactly the same format as the
character data in a text file written by Java?
