  3. Stream
  1. C# programs perform I/O through streams.
  2. A stream is linked to a physical device by the C# I/O system.
  3. The I/O classes and methods can be applied to many types of devices.

At the lowest level, all C# I/O systems operate on bytes.

The Predefined Streams

  1. Console.Out: the standard output stream.
  2. Console.In: standard input, which is by default the keyboard.
  3. Console.Error: the standard error stream, which is also the console by default.
