Do I need to close InputStream after I close the Reader

Question

I was wondering, whether is there any need for me to close the InputStream, after I close the reader?

    try {
        inputStream = new java.io.FileInputSt         


        

Answer 1

You don't have to close stream, if you close() the reader.

Closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with it. Once the stream has been closed, further read(), ready(), mark(), reset(), or skip() invocations will throw an IOException. Closing a previously closed stream has no effect.
