The break Statement

The break statement is used to break from an enclosing do, while, for, or switch statement. It is a compile error to use break anywhere else. 'break' breaks the loop without executing the rest of the statements in the block. For example, consider the following code public class MainClass {   public static void main(String[] args) {     int i = 0;     while (true) {         System.out.println(i);         i++;         if (i > 3) {             break;         }     }   } } The result is 0 1 2 3
