Debugging Problem: File Reading Error

Problem Description:
The following Java program is intended to read data from a text file named "[Link]" and display each line of the file.
However, there are some errors in the code preventing it from functioning correctly.

```java
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

public class FileReaderDebug {

public static void main(String[] args) {


File file = new File("[Link]");
try {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file);
while ([Link]()) {
String line = [Link]();
[Link](line);
}
[Link]();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
[Link]("File not found: " + [Link]());
}
}
}
```

Instructions for Students:


1. Identify and fix the error(s) preventing the program from reading and displaying the contents of the "[Link]" file.
2. Run the corrected program and verify that it displays each line of the file correctly.
3. Provide a brief explanation of the error(s) you found and the solution(s) you implemented to fix them.
Sample Input ([Link]):
```
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
```

Expected Output:
```
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
```

Additional Notes:
- Ensure that the "[Link]" file exists in the same directory as the Java program.
- Consider how file paths are specified in Java when locating the input file.
- Pay attention to exception handling to catch any potential errors during file processing.
