Jump statements are used to transfer the control of the program to the specific statements.
Jump statements transfer the execution control to the other part of the program.
There are two types of jump
statements in Java, i.e., break and continue.
break
statement:
The break statement is used to break the
current flow of the program and transfer the control to the next statement
outside a loop or switch statement.
The break statement cannot be used independently in
the Java program, i.e., it can only be written inside the loop or switch
statement. However, it breaks only the inner loop in the case of the nested
loop.
example:
for(int i = 0; i<= 10; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
if(i==6) {
break;
}
}
continue
statement:
The continue statement doesn't break the loop,
whereas, it skips the specific part of the loop and jumps to the next iteration
of the loop immediately.
example:
for(int i = 0; i<= 10; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
if(i==6) {
break;
}
}
