JAVA #17 – Jump Statement (break,continue and label) in Java

The break Statement

The break statement has two forms: labeled and unlabeled. You saw the unlabeled form in the previous discussion of the switch statement. You can also use an unlabeled break to terminate a for, while, or do-while loop

 

package breakcountinue; // Break Statement with Label
public class Breakcountinue {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        loop:
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            
             System.out.println("Ali");                             
             break loop;
             System.out.println("Ibad");         
             
        }
    }
    
}

 

package breakcountinue;
public class Breakcountinue {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            
             System.out.println("Ali");                             
             break;
             System.out.println("Ibad");         
             
        }
    }
    
}

 

 

The continue Statement

The continue statement skips the current iteration of a for, while , or do-while loop. The unlabeled form skips to the end of the innermost loop’s body and evaluates the boolean expression that controls the loop.

package breakcountinue;
public class Breakcountinue { 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            
             System.out.println("Ali");                             
             continue;
             System.out.println("Ibad");         
             
        }
    }
    
}
