Title: Describe a stream.
Course: Java Programming (Oracle) (10055) > Section: Exploring Database Input/Output

Description should identify a stream as

- an abstraction that either produces or consumes information
- that which is linked to a physical device by the Java I/O system.

I/O classes and methods may be applied to any type of device (the same methods used to write to the console can also be used to write to a disk file).
