Labels and loops..

Question

Say I have the following code:
Start:
while(true)
    Middle:
    while(true)
        System.out.println("hello");
        break;
System.out.println("goodbye");would the break remove me from all of the loops and then print "goodbye" ? or would it just remove me from the loop labeled "Middle" ?

Answer 1

When you have nested loops like this, I prefer setting some sort of flag before breaking out of the inner loop, then, when you're back in the outer loop, testing the flag to see if you should leave the outer loop.
