Label

Because continue and break only work on the current loop, labels can be used to further control the loop. Labels can be placed at the beginning of a loop, and you can continue or break to the label. An example of how to use a label follows:

class Br {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 0;
        int y = 0;
outer: 
        for (x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
inner: 
            System.out.println("outer loop: " + x);
            for (y =0; y < 10; y++) {
                if (x * 10 + y > 52) 
                    break outer; // break to outer loop
            }
        }
        System.out.println("x=" + x + " y=" + y);
    }
}
