break, continue and label in Java loop
Following example showcases labels 'first', 'second' before a for statement and use the break/continue controls to jump to that label. See the example below.
Example
public class Tester {
public static void main(String args[]) {
first:
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j< 3; j++){
if(i == 1){
continue first;
}
System.out.print(" [i = " + i + ", j = " + j + "] ");
}
}
System.out.println();
second:
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j< 3; j++){
if(i == 1){
break second;
}
System.out.print(" [i = " + i + ", j = " + j + "] ");
}
}
}
}first is the label for first outermost for loop and continue first cause the loop to skip print statement if i = 1;
second is the label for second outermost for loop and continue second cause the loop to break the loop.
