lass A extends Thread
{
public void run()
{
System.out.println("Starting loop");
while(true){}; //1
System.out.println("Ending loop");//3
}
}
public class TestClass
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
{
A a = new A();
a.start();
Thread.sleep(1000);
a.interrupt();
}
}
The above code when compiled gives an error saying line 3 is an unreachable statement.
Can anybody explain why?
Thanks in Advance.

Tanuja, What's the answer?

[Manish Hatwalne]

Statement on line //1 is an infinite loop which will not terminate, hence staement //3 is unreachable.
HTH,
