JavaScript Labeled statement
Loop statements in JavaScript can be labeled. This way, cou can continue
or break
out of a specific loop, and not only the one you are actually inside.
// The first for statement is labeled "loop1"
loop1: for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
// The second for statement is labeled "loop2"
loop2: for (let j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
if (i === 1 && j === 1) {
continue loop1;
}
console.log(`i = ${i}, j = ${j}`);
}
}
This principle also works for break
inside block statements:
foo: {
console.log("wurst");
break foo;
console.log("this will not be executed");
}
console.log("brot");
