The    and  amp  amp  operators are short circuit  so if the left side of    evaluates to true or the left side of  amp  amp  evaluates to false  the right side will not be evaluated  That s equivalent to a break

There s always a goto statement  but I would recommend nesting an if with an inverse of the breaking condition

You could use a label and a goto  but this is a bad hack  You should consider moving some of the stuff in your if statement to separate methods

You can t break break out of an if statement  unless you use goto   if  true          int var   0        var          if  var    1            goto finished        var       finished  printf  var    d n   var     This would give  var   1  as output

You can use goto  return  or perhaps call abort     exit    etc

I don t know your test conditions  but a good old switch could work  switch colour      case red          switch car               case hyundai                   break                            break

You probably need to break up your if statement into smaller pieces  That being said  you can do two things    wrap the statement into do    while  false  and use real break  not recommended    huge kludge     put the statement into its own subroutine and use return This may be the first step to improving your code

Nested ifs   if  condition           half-massive amount of code here      if   breakOutCondition                  half-massive amount of code here           At the risk of being downvoted -- it s happened to me in the past -- I ll mention that another  unpopular  option would of course be the dreaded goto  a break statement is just a goto in disguise   And finally  I ll echo the common sentiment that your design could probably be improved so that the massive if statement is not necessary  let alone breaking out of it   At least you should be able to extract a couple of methods  and use a return   if  condition        ExtractedMethod1         if  breakOutCondition          return       ExtractedMethod2
