How to code labeled break statements

• To jump to the end of an outer loop from an inner loop, you can label the outer loop and use the labeled break statement.

A break statement that exits the inner loop

for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++)
{
    System.out.println("Outer " + i);
    while (true)
    {
        int number = (int) (Math.random() * 10);
        System.out.println("   Inner " + number);
        if (number > 7)
            break;
    }
}

    another loop declaration
    {
        statements
        if (conditionalExpression)
        {
            statements
            break labelName;
        }
    }
}

A labeled break statement that exits the outer loop

outerLoop:
for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++)
{
    System.out.println("Outer " + i);
    while (true)
    {
        int number = (int) (Math.random() * 10);
        System.out.println("   Inner " + number);
        if (number > 7)
            break outerLoop;
    }
}
