Java Jump Statements Syntax Examples

The document explains Java jump statements: break, continue, and return. The 'break' statement exits a loop when a condition is met, 'continue' skips the current iteration of a loop, and 'return' ends method execution, optionally returning a value. A summary table outlines the use cases and effects of each statement.

Java Jump Statements: break, continue, return

1. break Statement

Syntax:

break;

Example:

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

if (i == 3) {

break;

System.out.println(i);

Output:

Explanation:

- 'break' stops the loop completely when i == 3.

----------------------------------------

2. continue Statement

Syntax:

continue;
Example:

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

if (i == 3) {

continue;

System.out.println(i);

Output:

Explanation:

- 'continue' skips the current iteration when i == 3, but the loop continues.

----------------------------------------

3. return Statement

Syntax:

return; // used in void methods

return value; // used in methods returning a value

Example 1 (Void method):

void greet() {

System.out.println("Hello");
return;

Example 2 (Returning a value):

int add(int a, int b) {

return a + b;

Explanation:

- 'return' ends method execution.

- You can use it to return values from a method or just exit a 'void' method.

----------------------------------------

Summary Table:

| Statement | Use Case | Effect |

|-----------|----------------------------------------|-------------------------------|

| break | Exit loop/switch early | Terminates the block |

| continue | Skip one iteration of a loop | Goes to next loop iteration |

| return | Exit method (optionally return value) | Ends method execution |
