 Jumping Statements

1)Break

• The one use of break in switch statement we have seen.
•  It can be used to break other loops also.
•  When you use break in a loop it terminates the program.

Example

For(int i=1;i<100;i++)

{

System.out.println(“ i is “+i);

If(i==5)

{

System.out.println(“ i cannot continue”);

Break;

}

}

2)Continue

• The continue statement, skips the current iteration in the loop and continues the loop to the next iteration.

•  So, when we want to skip some statements based on a condition, continue statement can be used.

Example

For(int i=1;i<100;i++)

{

System.out.println(“ i is “+i);

If(i%3==0||i%5==0)

{

Continue;

System.out.println(“no is “+i”);

}

}

3)Return

•  The return statement causes the control to be transferred back from a method to the caller of the method.

Example

Int i=1;

While(i<10)

{

If(i==3)

Return;

System.out.println(“I = “+i);

I++;

}
