Re: unnecessary code in Oracle example?

void r()

  The function calls are a trick that I have invented to
  bypass the need for non-final null-initialized variables
  when the reference of a resource just obtained is to be
  stored in a variable.

  I also do not have to compare the resources with null before
  closing them, since the functions with the close() calls are
  only called when the corresponding open calls did not throw.
