instead of break

Question

for a for loop in java, what can be used as an alternative to break?

Answer 1

There is no other equivalent keyword of break. What are you trying to achieve that break cannot be used?

Answer 2

If your for loop is in a function you could use "return" but that exits the for loop AND the function.

Answer 3

You could change the loop statement variable, to make it stop in next iteration, but other than that, no...
Java removed "goto", because they though of it as "useless". How sad. 😔
