What does "System.IO" mean in C#? [closed]

Question

I'm in my first year studying .Net and came to the chapter, "An Introduction to the System.IO classes"

I'm just curious to know what the .IO stands for. I do understand that this is learning about how to use Directories, Files and paths.

Answer 1

IO itself stands for Input/Output.

This is the entire System.IO namespace: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.aspx

You're probably going to cover directories, files, and streams.

Answer 2

'IO' is the standard acronym for Input/Output. The System.IO namespace contains all the classes that deal with input/outputs like reading/writing files.

Answer 3

IO stands for Input and Output. Basically System.IO contains methods for reading and writing files as well as using Streams like you have said already.
