Java labelled for loop

Following program is using labeled for loops.

Example

public class Tester {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
       
       first:
           for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
               for (int j = 0; j< 3; j++){
                   if(i == 1){
                       continue first;
                   }           
                   System.out.print(" [i = " + i + ", j = " + j + "] ");
               }
           }
       
           System.out.println();

       second:
           for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
               for (int j = 0; j< 3; j++){
                   if(i == 1){
                       break second;
                   }

                   System.out.print(" [i = " + i + ", j = " + j + "] ");
               }
           }
    }
}

first is the label for first outermost for loop and continue first cause the loop to skip print statement if i = 1;

second is the label for second outermost for loop and continue second cause the loop to break the loop.
