How do I break from the main/outer loop in a double/nested loop? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can add labels to your loop, and use that labelled break to break out of the appropriate loop: -

outer: for (...) {
    inner: for(...) {
        if (someCondition) {
            break outer;
        }
    }
}
