How to break a while loop from an if condition inside the while loop?

Question

I want to break a while loop of the format below which has an if statement. If that if statement is true, the while loop also must break. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The break keyword does exactly that. Here is a contrived example:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  int i = 0;
  while (i++ < 10) {
    if (i == 5) break;
  }
  System.out.println(i); //prints 5
}

If you were actually using nested loops, you would be able to use labels.
