Socket.getInputStream() returns an InputStream object.

So, if I have this code:


InputStream in = sock.getInputStream();
in.read(....);

what I don't understand (as a novice) is: InputStream is abstract so it
cannot be instantiated. But an InputStream object is being instantiated,
right? So, how?

Thanks.

RON
