    Labels To Control The Flow

    A label can be used with break and continue to control the flow more precisely.
    A label is simply an identifier followed by a colon that is applied to a statement or block of code

    Example:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Title of the document</title>
    <script language="javascript">
    document.write("Entering the loop!<br> ")
    outerloop: // This is the label name
    for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    {
    document.write("Outerloop: " + i + "<br>")
    for (var j = 0; j < 5; j++)
    {
    if (j == 3){
    continue outerloop;
    }
    document.write("Innerloop: " + j + "<br>");
    }
    }
    document.write("Exiting the loop!<br> ");
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>

    Output:

    Entering the loop!


    Outerloop: 0
    Innerloop: 0
    Innerloop: 1
    Innerloop: 2
    Outerloop: 1
    Innerloop: 0
    Innerloop: 1
    Innerloop: 2
    Outerloop: 2
    Innerloop: 0
    Innerloop: 1
    Innerloop: 2
    Exiting the loop!

    The break Statement:


    The break statement, which was briefly introduced with the switch statement, is used to exit a
    loop early, breaking out of the enclosing curly braces

    The break statement can also be used to jump out of a loop.  

    The break statement breaks the loop and continues executing the code after the loop (if any)

    Example:
    <html>
    <head><title></title>
    <script language="javascript">
    var i=1
    document.write("Implementation of break statement <br>")
    while (i<10)
    {
    document.write(i+" ")
    if(i==5)
    {
    break
    }
    i=i+1
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    Output:
    Implementation of break statement
