Where do bytes fit into the general Java scheme of things?
They're not even defined under java.lang. Where did their need come
from?
Basically, I have two very related problems:
I'm reading some info from a InputStream and want to treat the
info as a String. How can I convert one to the other?
Furthermore, if for testing purposes I wish to explicitly
create an array of bytes, what is the syntax? I declare it at the top
of my program. How do I allocate memory for it? (I assume: line =
new byte[123].) More importantly, how do I specify its contents?
Thanks,
-- Mike
