If I have if() statements nested in a for() loop, does a break; within them apply to the for() loop? [duplicate]

Does the break statement break out of loops or only out of if statements? (9 answers)

Nothing to add beyond the question provided in the title...

Example:

for(...) {
     if(...) {
         if(...) {
             //doing stuffs
             break;
         }
     }
}

//does that break statement get me to this spot?

Answer 1

In that case, it will break out of the for loop. break will break from loops (such as while, do/while, for) and switch statements.

Answer 2

Yes. The break will break out of the for-loop. break doesn't break out of if-statements.

Answer 3

Yes. Because break doesn't work for if statements. Therefore, it will work for the next loop encountered.

Note: break is used to terminate loops (for, while, or do-while).
