UDP client stuck in infinite loop

publicstaticvoid main(String args[])throws Exception

{

BufferedReader inFromUser=new BufferedReader(newInputStreamReader(System.in));

DatagramSocket clientSocket=new DatagramSocket();

InetAddress IPAddress = InetAddress.getLocalHost();

byte[] sendData =newbyte[1024];

byte[] receiveData =newbyte[1024];

String sentence ="";

boolean quit =true;

while(quit ==true);

{

String initiateConntact ="hi there";

sendData= initiateConntact.getBytes();

DatagramPacket sendPacket=new DatagramPacket(sendData, sendData.length, IPAddress, 9876);

clientSocket.send(sendPacket);

DatagramPacket receivePacket=new DatagramPacket(receiveData, receiveData.length);

clientSocket.receive(receivePacket);

String modifiedSentence=new String(receivePacket.getData());

InetAddress getIPFromServer = receivePacket.getAddress();

System.out.println("The server is located at : " + getIPFromServer);

sentence = inFromUser.readLine();

System.out.println("From Server:" + modifiedSentence);

if(sentence.equals("bye"));

{

quit =false;

clientSocket.close();

}

}

}

I am just courious why this pice of code gets stuck in an infinite loop.

(it seems anyway). It doesnt even make it into the while statement. If i replace the while with an if statement, everything works smoothly. Does anyone know what is actually happening here and why?

Thanks for your time.
