Breaking nested loop and main loop [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use a labeled break, which redirects the execution to after the block marked by the label:

OUTER:
while(x > 0) {
    for(int i = 5; i > 0; i++) {
        x = x-2;
        if(x == 0)
            break OUTER;
    }
}

Although in that specific case, a simple break would work because if x == 0 the while will exit too.
