Answer 1

I think the problem is that your loop is

while(false) {

This loop never executes, because false != true. Consequently, the Java compiler is telling you that nothing in the body of the loop will ever execute, and hence it's unreachable.

Try changing your loop to

while (true) {

(the idiomatic "loop forever") and see if that fixes things.

Hope this helps!
