# Introduction In this lab, we will be using the Java `BufferedReader` class, which is part of the `java.io` package. BufferedReader is used to read text from a character input stream and buffers the characters for better performance. The class wraps other reader classes and input streams, allowing us to improve the overall efficiency and performance of our programs. We will explore the different constructors, methods and use cases of BufferedReader in order to understand its functionality.
