Imagine a scenario where you need to send a text message over a network using Java. How would you utilize byte streams and character streams to ensure that the message is correctly received and encoded on the other side?

  • Use DataOutputStream to convert the text message to bytes and send it over the network, and DataInputStream to read and decode the message.
  • Use FileInputStream to send the message as bytes and FileReader to read and decode the message on the other side.
  • Use ObjectOutputStream to serialize the message and ObjectInputStream to deserialize it for network transmission.
  • Use PrintWriter to send the message as characters over the network, and Scanner to read and decode the message.
To send a text message over a network, you should use DataOutputStream to convert the message to bytes and DataInputStream to read and decode it. This ensures proper encoding and decoding of the message. PrintWriter and Scanner deal with characters, FileInputStream/FileReader with bytes, and ObjectOutputStream/ObjectInputStream with object serialization, which aren't ideal for text messages.
