Thinking About Streams

a. What was the purpose of wrapping the BufferedWriter object?

Figure 15.6 shows System.out, an OutputStream object (Byte Stream) wrapped with a PrintWriter object (Byte Stream).


b. Check Sun’s documentation for PrintWriter and explain why it is legal to wrap PrintWriter around objects of two different hierarchies (Byte Stream and Character Stream).


c. Is it legal to wrap a PrintWriter with a BufferedWriter object?

If no, explain why not. If yes, explain a possible rationale for doing so.
