Example – use break to exit from loop

Continue - Explanation

Sometimes it is necessary to exit

from the middle of a loop.
Sometimes we want to start over at
the top of the loop.
Sometimes we want to leave the loop
completely. For Example
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
if (m[i] % 2 == 0) continue;
// process odd elements... }

5
Example - continue

6
Return

It has purpose to exit from the

current method
It jumps back to the statement within
the calling method that follows the
original method call.
Example
return expression
