The explanations in the tutorial seem clear and simple. What do you not understand?

Getting someone to think and try something out is much more useful than just telling them the answer.

You can follow this link for difference between byte and character streams:

http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Streams/ProgIOStreams/index.html

A buffered stream does not do an I/O operation for every byte read, it buffers the bytes in memory for effecient performance

apigee, a better way to API!
