Non-stream files access

So far we have considered a file as being a ‘stream’ of something (bytes, characters, objects). This is very useful when a file has to be read or written in its entirety. It is not so useful when the data must be picked out of the file at widely separated locations.

Java provides a class called RandomAccessFile for this. A random access file models a file as an array of bytes, rather than a stream of bytes
