Java Break
You have already seen the break statement used in an earlier chapter of this tutorial. It was used to “jump out” of a switch statement.
The break statement can also be used to jump out of a loop.
This example stops the loop when i is equal to 4:
Example
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i == 4) {
break;
}
System.out.println(i);
}
