Answer 1

In this example, break would do the same thing that return does.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class demo {
  static String[] strings = {
    "", "Mary", "had", "", "a", "test", "little", "lamb"
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    for(int j = 0; j < strings.length; j++) {
      if(strings[j].equals(""))
        continue;
      System.out.println(strings[j] + " ");
      if(strings[j].equals("test"))
        return;
}
