Break statement in java

The break statement is a control statement that is used to jump out of the loop.

Types of break statements:

Unlabeled Break statement: is used to jump out of the loop when a specific condition returns true.
Labeled Break Statement: This is used to jump out of the specific loop based on the label when a specific condition returns true.

Syntax of Unlabeled Break statement:

for( initialization; condition; statement){ 
        //Block of statements
         if(condition){
                break;
         }
}

Syntax of Labeled Break Statement:

Label1:
for( initialization; condition; statement){ 
     Label2:
     for( initialization; condition; statement){ 
        //Block of statements
         if(condition){
                break Label1;
