How do I break out of nested loops in Java?

Question

How do I break out of nested loops in Java?

I've got a nested loop construct like this:

for (Type type : types) {

    for (Type t : types2) {

         if (some condition) {

             // Do something and break...

             break; // Breaks out of the inner loop

         }

    }

}

Presently how might I break out of the two loops? I've looked at comparable inquiries, yet none concerns Java explicitly. I was unable to apply these arrangements in light of the fact that most utilized gotos
I would prefer not to place the inward loop in an alternate technique.

I would prefer not to rerun the loops. When breaking I'm done with the execution of the loop block.

To break out of the nested loop in Java use a labeled break statement.



class LabeledBreak {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

   

        // name the loop as first  

        first:

        for( int i = 1; i < 10; i++) {



            // name the loop as second

            second:

            for(int j = 1; j < 5; j ++ ) {

                System.out.println("i = " + i + "; j = " +j);

             

                

                if ( i == 3)

                    break first;

            }

        }

    }

}

In the above example break first is used to terminate the loop and control goes to the line after first loop.

A named block can be used to overcome this situation:

search: {

    for (Type type : types) {

        for (Type t : types2) {

            if (some condition) {

                // Do something and break...

                break search;

            }

        }

    }

}
