Breaking out of a for loop in Java

Question

In my code I have a for loop that iterates through a method of code until it meets the for condition   Is there anyway to break out of this for loop   So if we look at the code below  what if we want to break out of this for loop when we get to  15    public class Test       public static void main String args             for int x   10  x  lt  20  x   x 1             System out print  value of x       x             System out print   n                    Outputs   value of x   10 value of x   11 value of x   12 value of x   13 value of x   14 value of x   15 value of x   16 value of x   17 value of x   18 value of x   19   I ve tried the following to no avail   public class Test       public static void main String args            boolean breakLoop   false        while   breakLoop              for int x   10  x  lt  20  x   x 1                 System out print  value of x       x                 System out print   n              if  x   15                  breakLoop   true                                           And I ve tried a loop   public class Test       public static void main String args            breakLoop            for int x   10  x  lt  20  x   x 1                 System out print  value of x       x                 System out print   n                 if  x   15                     break breakLoop                                  The only way I can achieve what I want to is by breaking out of a for loop  I cannot subsitute it for a while  do  if etc statement   Edit   This was provided only as an example  this isn t the code I m trying to get it implemented into  I have now solved the problem by placing multiple IF statements after where each loop initilizes  Before it would onlu jump out of one part of the loop due to lack of breaks

How about  for  int k   0  k  lt  10  k   k   2        if  k    2            break             System out println k       The other way is a labelled loop  myloop   for  int i 0  i  lt  5  i                     for  int j 0  j  lt  5  j                       if  i   j  gt  6                      System out println  Breaking                      break myloop                                     System out println i         j                                 For an even better explanation you can check here

You can use   for  int x   0  x  lt  10  x        if  x    5       If x is 5  then break it      break

If for some reason you don t want to use the break instruction  if you think it will disrupt your reading flow next time you will read your programm  for example   you can try the following     boolean test   true  for  int i   0  i  lt  1220  amp  amp  test  i          System out println i       if  i    20            test   false             The second arg of a for loop is a boolean test  If the result of the test is true  the loop will stop   You can use more than just an simple math test if you like  Otherwise  a simple break will also do the trick  as others said     for  int i   0  i  lt  1220   i          System out println i       if  i    20            break

break  is what you need to break out of any looping statement like for  while or do-while   In your case  its going to be like this -  for int x   10  x  lt  20  x                  The below condition can be present before or after your sysouts  depending on your needs           if x    15                break     A unlabeled break is enough  You don t need a labeled break here                      System out print  value of x       x             System out print   n

public class Test    public static void main String args         for int x   10  x  lt  20  x   x 1         if x  15           break       System out print  value of x       x         System out print   n
