    In java there are two Stream that can be used to write or read file.
    Byte Stream and Character Stream.
    Java also provided many classes to write and read file.

    My question is what and when to use these classes???
    I'm really confuse about this part.
    or was I misunderstand about it?

    You need to use the first stream to read/write binary files. An the second stream to read/write text files.
