Break Statement In Java with Examples
The Break statement in Java is used to break a loop statement or switch statement. The Break statement breaks the current flow at a specified condition.
Note: In case of inner loop, it breaks just the inner loop.
Syntax:
break;
Break Statement Sample Program:
package ClassThreeControlFlowStatements;
public class BreakStatement {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i=1; i<=10; i++)
{
if (i==4)
{
break;
}
System.out.println("Value of i is "+i);
}
}
}
Break Statement within Switch Case:
Refer Switch Case Statement.
Break Statement with inner loop:
package ClassThreeControlFlowStatements;
public class BreakStatementInnerLoop {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int x=1; x<=4; x++)
{
for (int y=1; y<=4; y++){
if (x==2 && y==2)
{
System.out.println("Value of x is "+x+" and Value of y is "+y);
break;
}
System.out.print(x);
System.out.println(y);
}
}
}
}
