Java keyword break and continue

The Break keyword

Break is used primarily in loop statements or switch statements to jump out of the entire block of statements.

Break jumps out of the innermost loop, and continues execution of the statement below the loop.

Grammar

The use of break is simple, which is a statement in the loop structure:

Break

Instance

public class Test {public static void main (String args[]) {int [] numbers = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};         for (int x:numbers) {if (x = =) {break;         } System.out.print (x);      System.out.print ("\ n"); }   }}

The results of the above example compilation run as follows:

10 20

Continue keywords

The Continue is suitable for any loop control structure. The function is to let the program jump immediately to the next iteration of the loop.

In the For loop, the continue statement causes the program to jump immediately to the UPDATE statement.

In the while or Do...while loop, the program immediately jumps to the judgment statement of the Boolean expression.

Grammar

Continue is a simple statement in the loop body:

Continue

Instance

public class Test {public static void main (String args[]) {int [] numbers = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};         for (int x:numbers) {if (x = =) {continue;         } System.out.print (x);      System.out.print ("\ n"); }   }}

The results of the above example compilation run as follows:

10 20 40 50
