File I/O & Collection Framework

The document discusses file input/output and collections in Java. It describes the role of files as persistent storage for shared information. The Java File class represents files and directories in an abstract way and is used for creating, searching, deleting files and more. A File object provides information about a disk file like permissions, time, and path to navigate directory hierarchies. Streams are sequences of data like bytes and are used for input/output attached to the console like System.out for standard output.
