Entry Controlled Loop: Unfixed Iteration

Learn about the contribution of branching statements on controlling the behavior of a program in this lesson.

We'll cover the following...

Coding example: 58

The following example deals with another interesting part of code statements, branching statements. By using continue and break keywords, we can control the movement of a loop. First, see the example provided below:

Java
public class ExampleFiftyEight {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Continue statement: ");
        //continue statement tells the control to skip the current statement
        //the loop executes the remaining statement
        for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
            if(i == 2){
                continue;
            }
            System.out.println(i);
        }
        System.out.println("Break statement: ");
        for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
            if(i == 2){
                break;
                //loop terminates when this condition is true
            }
            System.out.println(i);
        }
    }
}

Code explanation

In the first case, the continue keyword skips a certain value and the loop continues. In the second case, when the iteration matches the ...
