Labeled break and continue in Java - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to break out of the outer loop using a label.

Java

outer: for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
        if (i == 1 && j == 1) {
            [1] outer;
        }
        System.out.println(i + "," + j);
    }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'continue' instead of 'break' to exit the loop.

Forgetting to specify the label after break.

The break statement with a label exits the labeled loop immediately.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to skip the current iteration of the outer loop using a labeled continue.

Java

outer: for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
        if (j == 1) {
            [1] outer;
        }
        System.out.println(i + "," + j);
    }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'break' instead of 'continue' to skip iteration.

Not specifying the label after continue.

The continue statement with a label skips the current iteration of the labeled loop.

Fix the error in the labeled break statement to correctly exit the outer loop.

Java

outer: for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
        if (i == 1 && j == 0) {
            [1] outer;
        }
        System.out.println(i + "," + j);
    }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Writing 'breakouter' as one word.

Adding a semicolon between break and label.

The correct syntax for labeled break is break labelName; without spaces inside the keyword.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to use labeled continue and break correctly in nested loops.

Java

outer: for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    inner: for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
        if (j == 1) {
            [1] outer;
        }
        if (i == 2) {
            [2] inner;
        }
        System.out.println(i + "," + j);
    }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up break and continue keywords.

Using labels incorrectly or forgetting them.

continue outer; skips to the next iteration of the outer loop.
break inner; exits the inner loop.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a labeled break and continue example that skips and breaks loops properly.

Java

outer: for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
    inner: for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {
        if (i == 1 && j == 2) {
            [1] inner;
        }
        if (i == 3 && j == 1) {
            [2] outer;
        }
        if (j == 0) {
            [3] inner;
        }
        System.out.println(i + "," + j);
    }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing break and continue keywords.

Using the wrong label with the keyword.

Use break inner; to exit inner loop, continue outer; to skip outer loop iteration, and continue inner; to skip inner loop iteration.
