Understanding Break Statement in Java

Break statements in Java are used to exit a loop or switch statement. There are different ways to use a break statement including: (1) In a for loop, a break statement will exit the loop and continue execution at the statement after the loop; (2) In a while loop, a break statement will similarly exit the loop; (3) A break statement in a do-while loop exits the loop; (4) A break statement can also be used to exit a switch statement and continue execution at the statement after the switch. The break statement skips any remaining statements in the loop/switch and transfers control to the statement following the loop.

Different Ways of Using Break Statement in Java :


[Link] Statement used in For Loop

break statement will take control out of the loop.


All the statements will gets executed i.e statement 1 , statement 2
. when it encountersbreak statement it will break
loop and take control outside the loop.

In the above diagram break statement will take control outside


the loop . i.e, it will execute OutsideStatement1 next to break.

[Link] Statement used in While Loop

In this example we have written break statement inside while


loop.

Whenever this statement executes then break will move control


outside the while loop.

[Link] Statement used in While Loop

In do while it executes similarly as that of for and while loop.

break statement terminates do while loop.

[Link] Statement can also be used in Switch Case
