下面是break的语义:

int[] a = new int[] { 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 };
// find 9
for(int i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
{
    if (a[i] == 9) 
        goto goBreak;

    Console.WriteLine(a[i].ToString());      
}
goBreak:;

下面是continue的语义:

int[] a = new int[] { 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 };
// skip all odds
for(int i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
{
    if (a[i] % 2 == 1) 
        goto goContinue;

    Console.WriteLine(a[i].ToString());      

goContinue:;
}

简单的程序，了解继续和中断之间的区别

当使用continue时

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("HelloWorld");
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
        System.out.println("Start For loop i = " + i);
        if(i==2){
            System.out.println("Inside if Statement for i = "+i);
           continue;
        }
        System.out.println("End For loop i = " + i);
    }
    System.out.println("Completely out of For loop");
}


OutPut:
HelloWorld
Start For loop i = 0
End For loop i = 0
Start For loop i = 1
End For loop i = 1
Start For loop i = 2
Inside if Statement for i = 2
Start For loop i = 3
End For loop i = 3
Start For loop i = 4
End For loop i = 4
Completely out of For loop

什么时候使用break

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("HelloWorld");
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
        System.out.println("Start For loop i = " + i);
        if(i==2){
            System.out.println("Inside if Statement for i = "+i);
           break;
        }
        System.out.println("End For loop i = " + i);
    }
    System.out.println("Completely out of For loop");
}

Output:
HelloWorld
Start For loop i = 0
End For loop i = 0
Start For loop i = 1
End For loop i = 1
Start For loop i = 2
Inside if Statement for i = 2
Completely out of For loop

考虑以下几点:

int n;
for(n = 0; n < 10; ++n) {
    break;
}
System.out.println(n);

Break导致循环终止，n的值为0。

int n;
for(n = 0; n < 10; ++n) {
    continue;
}
System.out.println(n);

Continue使程序计数器返回到循环的第一行(检查条件，n的值为增量)，n的最终值为10。

还应该注意的是，break只终止它所在循环的执行:

int m;
for(m = 0; m < 5; ++m)
{
    int n;
    for(n = 0; n < 5; ++n) {
        break;
    }
    System.out.println(n);
}
System.out.println(m);

会输出什么效果

0
0
0
0
0
5

答得好，简单准确。

我会添加一个代码示例。

C:\oreyes\samples\java\breakcontinue>type BreakContinue.java

    class BreakContinue {

        public static void main( String [] args ) {

               for( int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ ) {

                     if( i % 2 == 0) { // if pair, will jump
                         continue; // don't go to "System.out.print" below.
                     }

                     System.out.println("The number is " + i );

                     if( i == 7 ) {
                         break; // will end the execution, 8,9 wont be processed
                      }

               }
        }

    }

C:\oreyes\samples\java\breakcontinue>java BreakContinue
The number is 1
The number is 3
The number is 5
The number is 7

有关更多细节和代码示例，请参阅分支语句:

打破

break语句有两种形式:有标记的和无标记的。你们看到了 switch语句中未标记的形式。你 还可以使用未标记的中断来终止for, while或do-while吗 循环[…] 未标记的break语句终止最里面的开关，如下: While或do-while语句，但是标记的break终止了外层语句 声明。

继续

continue语句跳过for语句的当前迭代， 或者do-while循环。未标记的表单跳转到最内层的末尾 对象的布尔表达式求值 循环。[…] 带标签的continue语句跳过使用给定标签标记的外部循环的当前迭代。

Break完全离开循环，并在循环之后执行语句。 而Continue则离开当前迭代并执行循环中的下一个值。

这段代码解释了一切:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
    {
        if (i==4)
        {
            break;
        }
        System.out.print(i+"\t");

    }
    System.out.println();
    for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
    {

        if (i==4)
        {
            continue;
        }
        System.out.print(i+"\t");
    }
}

输出:

0   1   2   3   
0   1   2   3   5   6   7   8   9
