nested-loops

If I use a break statement, it will only break inner loop and I need to use some flag to break the outer loop. But if there are many nested loops, the code will not look good. Is there any other way to break all of the loops? (Please don't use goto stmt .) for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < 1000; j++) { if(condition) { // both of the loops need to break and control will go to stmt2 } } } stmt2 What about: if(condition) { i = j = 1000;break; } No, don't spoil the fun with a break . This is the last remaining valid use of goto ;) If not this then you could use flags to break out

I think this might be a pretty simple question, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. If I've got a 2-dimensional array like so: int[,] array = new int[2,3] { {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6} }; What's the best way to iterate through each dimension of the array with a nested foreach statement? If you want to iterate over every item in the array as if it were a flattened array, you can just do: foreach (int i in array) { Console.Write(i); } which would print 123456 If you want to be able to know the x and y indexes as well, you'll need to do: for (int x = 0; x < array.GetLength(0); x += 1) { for

I tried this: for(i = 0; i < 5; i++){ for(j = i + 1; j < 5; j++){ break(2); } alert(1); } only to get: SyntaxError : missing ; before statement So, how would I break a nested loop in JavaScript? Noon Silk You should be able to break to a label, like so: function foo () { dance: for(var k = 0; k < 4; k++){ for(var m = 0; m < 4; m++){ if(m == 2){ break dance; } } } } You need to name your outer loop and break that loop, rather than your inner loop - like this. outer_loop: for(i=0;i<5;i++) { for(j=i+1;j<5;j++) { break outer_loop; } alert(1); } See Aaron's. Otherwise: j=5;i=5 instead of break .
