Simple Break Statement in Java

Simple Break Statement in Java

Java Break Statement is used to alter the flow of program code.For example,to stop running of inner loop we can use break statement.

Break Statement Syntax 

 //condition to test  
  break  

Code Example:

 public class BreakStatement {  
   public static void main(String args[])  
   {  
     for(int i=0;i<=10;i++)  
     {  
       if(i==6)  
       {  
       break;  
       }  
       System.out.println(i);  
     }  
   }  

Breaking Inner loop with Break Statement

Inner loop can be broken using Java Break Statement.

 public class BreakInnerLoop {  
   public static void main(String args[])  
   {  
    for(int i=1;i<=3;i++){    
           for(int j=1;j<=3;j++){    
             if(i==2&&j==2){    
               break;    
             }    
             System.out.println(i+" "+j);    
           }    
       }    
 }   
 }
