break语句存在于当前循环控制结构中，并跳转到它后面，而continue语句也退出，但跳转回循环条件。

System.out.println ("starting loop:");
for (int n = 0; n < 7; ++n)
{
    System.out.println ("in loop: " + n);
    if (n == 2) {
        continue;
    }
    System.out.println ("   survived first guard");
    if (n == 4) {
        break;
    }
    System.out.println ("   survived second guard");
    // continue at head of loop
}
// break out of loop
System.out.println ("end of loop or exit via break");

这将导致以下输出:

starting loop:
in loop: 0
    survived first guard
    survived second guard
in loop: 1
    survived first guard
    survived second guard
in loop: 2
in loop: 3
    survived first guard
    survived second guard
in loop: 4
    survived first guard
end of loop or exit via break

你可以标记一个块，不仅仅是一个for循环，然后从一个嵌套块到一个外部块。在少数情况下，这可能是有用的，但一般情况下，你会尽量避免这样的代码，除非程序的逻辑比下面的例子更好理解:

first:
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) 
{
    second:
    for (int j = 0; j < 4; ++j) 
    {
        third:
        for (int k = 0; k < 4; ++k) 
        {
            System.out.println ("inner start: i+j+k " + (i + j + k));
            if (i + j + k == 5)
                continue third;
            if (i + j + k == 7)
                continue second;
            if (i + j + k == 8)
                break second;
            if (i + j + k == 9)
                break first;
            System.out.println ("inner stop:  i+j+k " + (i + j + k));
        }
    }       
}

因为它是可能的，但这并不意味着你应该使用它。

如果你想以一种有趣的方式混淆你的代码，你不选择一个有意义的名字，而是http:，并在它后面加上一个注释，看起来很陌生，就像源代码中的网络地址:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/462373
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) 
{
     if (i == 2) 
         break http;

我猜这是约书亚·布洛赫做的小测验。：）

首先，我认为你应该知道在Java中有两种类型的中断和继续，即有标记的中断，无标记的中断，有标记的继续和无标记的继续。现在，我将谈谈它们之间的区别。

class BreakDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {

    int[] arrayOfInts = 
        { 32, 87, 3, 589,
          12, 1076, 2000,
          8, 622, 127 };
    int searchfor = 12;

    int i;
    boolean foundIt = false;

    for (i = 0; i < arrayOfInts.length; i++) {
        if (arrayOfInts[i] == searchfor) {
            foundIt = true;
            break;//this is an unlabeled break,an unlabeled break statement terminates the innermost switch,for,while,do-while statement.
        }
    }

    if (foundIt) {
        System.out.println("Found " + searchfor + " at index " + i);
    } else {
        System.out.println(searchfor + " not in the array");
    }
}

未标记的break语句终止最里面的开关、for、while、do-while语句。

public class BreakWithLabelDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    search:
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
            System.out.println(i + " - " + j);
            if (j == 3)
                break search;//this is an labeled break.To notice the lab which is search.
        }
    }
}

带标记的break终止外部语句。如果你javac和Java这个演示，你会得到:

0 - 0
0 - 1
0 - 2
0 - 3

class ContinueDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {

    String searchMe = "peter piper picked a " + "peck of pickled peppers";
    int max = searchMe.length();
    int numPs = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
        // interested only in p's
        if (searchMe.charAt(i) != 'p')
            continue;//this is an unlabeled continue.

        // process p's
        numPs++;
    }
    System.out.println("Found " + numPs + " p's in the string.");
}

未标记的continue语句将跳过for、while、do-while语句的当前迭代。

public class ContinueWithLabelDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    search:
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
            System.out.println(i + " - " + j);
            if (j == 3)
                continue search;//this is an labeled continue.Notice the lab which is search
        }
    }
}

一个带标签的continue语句将跳过当前使用给定标签标记的外部循环的迭代，如果你javac和java演示，你将得到:

0 - 0
0 - 1
0 - 2
0 - 3
1 - 0
1 - 1
1 - 2
1 - 3
2 - 0
2 - 1
2 - 2
2 - 3

如果你有任何问题，你可以看看这个Java教程:在这里输入链接描述

break语句会导致它所应用的语句(switch、for、do或while)的终止。

continue语句用于结束当前循环迭代并将控制权返回给循环语句。

Break完全退出循环。Continue跳过Continue语句后面的语句并继续循环。

下面是break的语义:

int[] a = new int[] { 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 };
// find 9
for(int i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
{
    if (a[i] == 9) 
        goto goBreak;

    Console.WriteLine(a[i].ToString());      
}
goBreak:;

下面是continue的语义:

int[] a = new int[] { 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 };
// skip all odds
for(int i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
{
    if (a[i] % 2 == 1) 
        goto goContinue;

    Console.WriteLine(a[i].ToString());      

goContinue:;
}
