InputStream and BufferedInputStream

[dalu]

Hi,

I was trying to implement a simple java program to read the contents of a file using BufferedReader. Thats when I happened to come across an example where FileInputStream and BufferedInputStream was used to read the file. What is the difference between the two???

Try this: Buffering with Java input streams

The BufferedInputStream actually does the reading but it needs a stream specified. The InputStream is used in order to do that (in establishes a connection to the text file).

Check this to see some examples:
