using System;
using System.IO;
namespace FindAndSolve
{
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
StringWriter objStr= new StringWriter();
objStr.WriteLine("Hello, This is an StringReaderExample");
objStr.Close();
// Creating StringReader instance or object and passing StringWriter
StringReader reader = new StringReader(objStr.ToString());
// Reading data
while (reader.Peek() > -1)
{
Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadLine());
}
}
}
