An input stream is a sequence of data that can be processed by a program. It is a fundamental concept in computer programming and is used to represent data coming from various sources, such as user input, files, or network connections. The data within an input stream is typically read sequentially, meaning it is processed one item at a time in the order it appears. Programs interact with input streams through specific operations, such as reading characters, bytes, or entire lines of text. The source of an input stream is often referred to as the "source" or "producer" of the data, while the program consuming the data is the "consumer." Many programming languages provide built-in libraries or classes to manage input streams, abstracting away the complexities of interacting with different data sources. For example, reading from the keyboard or a file involves interacting with an input stream. Error handling is an important aspect of working with input streams, as unexpected data or interruptions can occur. Understanding input streams is crucial for developing applications that interact with external data or user input.
