You have already seen the break statement used in the previous chapter of this study. Used for "skipping" on the switch statement.
The break statement can also be used to jump into a loop.
This example stops the loop if I'm equal to 4:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i == 4) {
break;
}
System.out.println(i);
}
The continue statement of continuity breaks one duplicate (loop), if the specified condition occurs, and continues the next duplicate of the loop.
This example exceeds 4 value:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i == 4) {
continue;
}
System.out.println(i);
}
You can also use break and continue while loops:
int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
System.out.println(i);
i++;
if (i == 4) {
break;
}
}
int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
if (i == 4) {
i++;
continue;
}
System.out.println(i);
i++;
}
