Java - Does returning a value break a loop?

Question

I\'m writing some code that basically follows the following format:

public static boolean isIncluded(E element) {
    Node c = head;
    while (c !=         


        

Answer 1

Return does break the loop and returns from the entire method immediately. The only code that will be executed on the way out is the body of a finally clause and the release of any synchronized statement.
