title: initializing FileInputStream
body: <p>Why is it asking me to initialize the variable <strong>fin</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>FileInputStream fin;
  File f = new File("C:/Users/NetBeansProjects/QuestionOne/input.txt");
  fin = new FileInputStream(f);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When trying to close the file</p>
  
  <pre><code>fin.close();
  </code></pre>
