The break Statement:
The break Statement is used to stop the entire loop (for loop, while loop or do-while) or a switch statement. The break keyword will stop the execution of the innermost loop and start executing the next line of code after the block.
Syntax:
|
1 |
break; |
Example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
public class Test { public static void main(String args[]) { int [] numbers = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}; for(int x : numbers ) { if( x == 30 ) { break; } System.out.print( x ); System.out.print("\n"); } } } |
The continue Statement:
The continue Statement can be used in any of the loop control structures. It causes the loop to immediately jump to the next iteration of the loop.
- In a for loop, the continue keyword causes flow of control to immediately jump to the update statement.
- In a while loop or do/while loop, flow of control immediately jumps to the Boolean expression.
Syntax:
|
1 |
continue; |
Example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
public class Test { public static void main(String args[]) { int [] numbers = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}; for(int x : numbers ) { if( x == 30 ) { continue; } System.out.print( x ); System.out.print("\n"); } } } |
