The Labeled break Statement
<![CDATA[
The break statement can be followed by a label.
The presence of a label will transfer control to the start of the code identified by the label.
For example, consider this code.
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
OuterLoop: for (int i = 2;; i++) {
for (int j = 2; j < i; j++) {
if (i % j == 0) {
continue OuterLoop;
}
}
System.out.println(i);
if (i == 37) {
break OuterLoop;
}
}
}
}
