Unit 4: Transporting Text Across a Network   By now, you know that you can receive input from users and generate outputs using a subset of streams on a local machine.  In this unit, you will learn how to create streams to receive input and write output.  You will focus on writer and reader stream classes, ultimately learning to open writing and reading streams across machines on a network.

Unit 4 Time Advisory
This unit should take you approximately 12 hours to complete.

☐    Subunit 4.1: 3 hours

☐    Subunit 4.2: 3 hours

☐    Subunit 4.3: 3 hours

☐    Subunit 4.4: 3 hours

Unit4 Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, the student will be able to:

  • Explain the fundamental concepts of streaming in Java.
  • Differentiate the coding methods for writing and reading across machines.
  • Compare and contrast methods for input and output streaming.
  • Complete programming tasks utilizing different streaming methods.

4.1 Streams Overview
