Отличный ответ простой и точный.
Я бы добавил образец кода.
C:\oreyes\samples\java\breakcontinue>type BreakContinue.java
class BreakContinue {
public static void main( String [] args ) {
for( int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ ) {
if( i % 2 == 0) { // if pair, will jump
continue; // don't go to "System.out.print" below.
}
System.out.println("The number is " + i );
if( i == 7 ) {
break; // will end the execution, 8,9 wont be processed
}
}
}
}
C:\oreyes\samples\java\breakcontinue>java BreakContinue
The number is 1
The number is 3
The number is 5
The number is 7
