Question 3(i)

Distinguish between the following:

break statement and labelled break statement

Answer
break statementlabelled break statement
The break statement is used to take the control out of the loop control structure immediately enclosing it.Labelled break statement transfers program control out of the code block whose label is specified as its target.
Syntax:
break;		Syntax:
break <label>;
For example,
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++)
{
for(int j = 1; j <= 2; j++)
{
if (i == 2)
{
break;
}
System.out.println("Iteration value of inner loop: " + j);
}
System.out.println();
}
For example,
outer:
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++)
{
for(int j = 1; j <= 2; j++)
{
if (i == 2)
{
System.out.println("Terminating the Outer-loop");
break outer;
}
System.out.println("i =" + i +" ; j =" + j);
}
