Q1Domain Verified

In the context of Java I/O, what is the primary distinction between `InputStream` and `OutputStream` regarding data flow and typical usage scenarios?

`InputStream` is used for writing binary data to files, while `OutputStream` is used for reading text data from streams.

`InputStream` is inherently thread-safe for concurrent reading operations, while `OutputStream` requires explicit synchronization mechanisms.

`InputStream` facilitates reading data from a source (like a file or network socket), whereas `OutputStream` facilitates writing data to a destination.

`InputStream` operates solely on byte arrays, while `OutputStream` can handle both byte and character streams interchangeably.

Q2Domain Verified

When working with `jav

`transferTo()` guarantees atomic file operations, preventing race conditions during large file transfers.

`transferTo()` allows for direct kernel-level data transfer between channels, bypassing user-space buffers and reducing CPU overhead.

nio.channels.FileChannel` and its `transferTo()` method, what is a significant performance advantage it offers over traditional `InputStream`/`OutputStream` read/write loops? A) `transferTo()` always performs an in-memory buffer copy, significantly reducing disk I/O latency.

`transferTo()` automatically compresses the data during transfer, leading to smaller file sizes.

Q3Domain Verified

Consider a scenario where you need to read a large text file and process it line by line, but you also want to ensure that the file is closed automatically even if an exception occurs during processing. Which of the following Java constructs provides the most robust and concise solution?

A traditional `try-catch-finally` block with manual `fileReader.close()` in the `finally` block.

Using a `FileInputStream` and manually closing it within a `try-catch-finally` block.

Reading the entire file content into a `String` using `Files.readString()` and then processing the string.

A try-with-resources statement with a `BufferedReader` wrapping a `FileReader`.
