error: "unreachable statement in File.close();"

[natie]

I have the following code which is a method that displays the content of a file with the name "File"

 public void DisplayAll()throws IOException

    {
       		try
			{DataInputStream F = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("File"));
			{
    			for(;;)
    			{
    			System.out.println(F.readUTF());
    			System.out.println(F.readInt());
    			System.out.println(F.readInt());
    			}

      		}

			F.close();
			}catch(EOFException eof){}

   	}

the error is: "unreachabl e statement" at the "F.close". what I'm supposed to do?

in line 7

    for(;;)
       ...

you have an infinite loop, i.e. there is no exit condition so the F.close() in line 16 can never be reached.
there should be an exit condition for the loop - I would suggest putting the F.close() in the catch EOFException(), e.g.

        DataInputStream F=null;
        try
            {
             F = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("File"));
             for(;;)
                {
                System.out.println(F.readUTF());
                System.out.println(F.readInt());
                System.out.println(F.readInt());

            }       
         }          
         catch(EOFException eof) { F.close();}
         catch(IOException e) { System.out.println(e) ;}
