The document discusses input/output streams in Java. There are two types of streams: byte streams and character streams. Byte streams handle input and output of bytes for binary files, while character streams handle input and output of characters for text files. Java also defines three standard streams for input, output, and errors that are represented by System.in, System.out, and System.err respectively. The document provides examples of different stream types and how they are used for input and output in Java programs.
