Kotlin Break/Continue

This lesson is part of Kotlin · All levels

Summary

This lesson reviews the break and continue controls in Kotlin. In addition to regular use, Kotlin provides a powerful feature called labeled jump (label@) that allows the developer to stop or continue the outer loop specifically from within the nested loop.

Key points

The 'break' order to stop the enforcement of the nearest repeat
The 'continue' command skips the rest of the current iteration instructions and moves on to the next iteration
Label defined by name followed by the '@' sign (e.g. 'loopLuar@')
The use of 'break@label' or 'continue@label' facilitates the control of nested loops without complicated boolean flags
