Yes, the "break" and "continue" statements can be used with nested loops in Java.
When a "break" statement is used in a nested loop, it terminates the innermost loop that it is currently in.
For example, consider the following code snippet:
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j <= 3; j++) {
if (i == 2 && j == 2) {
break;
}
System.out.println(i + " " + j);
}
}
In this code, there are two nested loops, and the "break" statement is used inside the inner loop. When the value of i is 2 and the value of j is 2, the "break" statement will be executed and the inner loop will be terminated.
The output of this code will be:
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
3 1
3 2
3 3
Similarly, when a "continue" statement is used in a nested loop, it skips the current iteration of the innermost loop that it is currently in and moves on to the next iteration. For example, consider the following code snippet:
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j <= 3; j++) {
if (i == 2 && j == 2) {
continue;
}
System.out.println(i + " " + j);
}
}
In this code, the "continue" statement is used inside the inner loop. When the value of i is 2 and the value of j is 2, the "continue" statement will be executed and the current iteration of the inner loop will be skipped.
The output of this code will be:
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 3
3 1
3 2
3 3
So, the "break" and "continue" statements can be used with nested loops to control the flow of the program.
