Is it a mandate to close the scanner? in Java

With the below code I'm able to yield the same output with/without the scanner close method.

import java.util.Scanner;
class CheckPassFail
{
    //Write a program called CheckPassFail which prints "PASS" if the int variable "mark" is more than or equal to 50; or prints "FAIL" otherwise.
    static int k;
    static String str;
    public static void main(String arg[])
    {
        System.out.println("Enter the marks : ");
        Scanner typein = new Scanner(System.in);
        str = typein.nextLine();
        typein.close();                             //Scanner Close
        k = Integer.parseInt(str);
        if(k>=50)
        {
            System.out.println("PASS");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("FAIL");
        }
    }
}
