The
switch
and
case
statements are similar to COBOL's EVALUATE verb.
Java's
for
loop is similar to COBOL's PERFORM UNTIL construct. The
con-
tinue
statement causes the current iteration of this loop to terminate and the
next iteration to start. The
break
statement causes the current code block to be
exited immediately.
Finally, you constructed a labeled
for
loop. After the loop was performed only
two times, you exited the labeled loop abruptly, causing the statement after the
loop to be executed. In fact, you exited the outer loop from inside an inner loop.
