import java.io.*;

public class PipedOutputStreamDemo extends PipedInputStream {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
   
      // create a new Piped input and Output Stream
      PipedOutputStream out = new PipedOutputStream();
      PipedInputStreamDemo in = new PipedInputStreamDemo();

      try {
         // connect input and output
         out.connect(in);

         // write something 
         out.write(70);

         // close the stream
         System.out.println("Closing Stream...");
         out.close();
         System.out.println("Stream Closed.");

         // print what we wrote
         for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
            System.out.println("" + (char) in.read());
