Breaking from nested switch
I have 3 switch block that are nested. From inner most, I have a case from which I want to break from all the switches.

How this can be done.

Thanks a lot for looking into this.

Example similar to the goto statement in other languages
Hello javaplus

This is the best that I can do now:
Code:
int i = 3, j = 2, k = 4; boolean switching = true; gohere:{ if (switching) switch (i){ case 0: System.out.println("impossible :)"); break; case 3: switch (j){ case 2: switch (k){ case 4: System.out.println("breaking"); i = 4; switching = false; break gohere; // similar to a while loop, but execution skips to the label immediately. } break; } System.out.println("oops)"); break; case 4: System.out.println("oops)"); break; } }
This gives the output:
Code:
breaking
Note that there was no oopses.

I hope that helped.

Thanks Tim. You used labels. I have read somewhere that it is not recommended to use labels in Java. But if there is an absolute need, then one may use them. I think its the only solution to my problem - so Ill use it.

Tanks again.

Sure, in absolute cases it's acceptable. But as in Java, there are many ways to perform a task... maybe there was another way to write your logic? I don't know, I'm just throwing that out there...
