If there was a jump statement "break" inside a nested loop for and it was inside the second for...

Question

will the compiler pass out from the both loops ??

Answer 1

no. break stops the last loop that started. loop 1 started then loop 2 and then the break. if the break is inside loop 2 loop 1 will continue.

Answer 2

If you need to break the outer loop from inner loop, you can use label like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/886955/breaking-out-of-nested-loops-in-java

Answer 3

if u can give code example it will help to get the full picture.
Any how I believe this is wht u asking.

for(){ //#1

break; //#b1

for(){ //#2

break;. //#b2
}
}

if #b2 break execute it will break only the #2 for loop and #1 will not break.
if #b1 break it break the #1 for loop and it wouldn't not go to next line so #2 for loop will not execute.

Simply break statement only break the loop it is belongs to.
