TRANSFER STATEMENTS
By using transfer statements we are able to transfer the flow execution from one position to another position.
In Java, there are three main types of transfer statements:
- Break
- Continue
- Return
Break
- we are able to use the break statement only two places if we are using any other place the compiler will raise compilation error.
- Break means that stop the execution come out of loop.
- Inside the switch statement.
- Inside the loop.
Continue:
- skip the current iteration continue the rest of the iteration normally.
- When encountered inside a loop, it causes the control to immediately jump to the next iteration of the loop, skipping any remaining code within the loop for the current iteration.
Return Statement:
- The
returnstatement is used to explicitly return from a method. - It can optionally return a value to the caller, depending on the method’s return type.
- When encountered inside a method, it immediately terminates the method’s execution and transfers control back to the caller, along with the specified return value (if any).
