Closing a File

                
manillaFileThe file reaper.txt is an ordinary ASCII text file, with one byte per character. Character strings inside a running Java program are two bytes per character. A Writer stream
                    translates between the internal format and the external, disk file format.

            

            

                
As mentioned in the previous chapter, the disk file uses UTF ("Unicode Transformation Format") which is identical to 8-bit ASCII format for the common characters of English. In the USA, text files are usually
                    ASCII (and therefore also UTF).
