break and continue in java code example

Example 1: break java

//Conclusion
        break == jump out side the loop
        continue == next loop cycle
        return == return the method/end the method.
          
  for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
      System.out.println(i +"");
      if(i == 3){
        break;
        
      }
    }
  System.out.println("finish!");
/* Output
0
1
2
3
finish!
*/

Example 2: how to break out for loop java

//Java Program to demonstrate the use of break statement    
//inside the for loop.  
public class BreakExample {  
public static void main(String[] args) {  
    //using for loop  
    for(int i=1;i<=10;i++){  
        if(i==5){  
            //breaking the loop  
            break;  
        }  
        System.out.println(i);  
    }  
}  
}

Example 3: Continue statement in java

// continue in java example
import java.util.*;
public class ContinueJavaExample 
{
   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
      for(int a = 1; a <= 10; a++)
      {
         if(a % 2 != 0)
         {
            continue;
         }
         System.out.println(a + " ");
      }
   }
}

Example 4: continue in java

int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
  if (i == 4) {
    i++;  //why do I need this line ?
    continue;
  }
  System.out.println(i);
  i++;
}
