break and continue: The break statement has a legitimate use as part of a switch control structure, but break as well as continue are also branching statements which are part of the Java control syntax for loops. There is much contraversy around break and continue. Break and continue in loops are easy to abuse, resulting in code which is difficult to read. Thus, many advocate that loop conditions are only in the code once, and that break and continue logic is expressed in the loop conditions. Others feel that judicious use of break and continue are acceptable, but even these proponents will state that program readability is the number one consideration. They only advocate break and continue when their use improves readability.
