CODE EXAMPLE FOR JAVA

return vs break

int i;

for(int j=0; j<10; j++)
{
    for(i=0; i<10; i++)
    {
        if(i==0)
            break;        // This break will cause the loop (innermost) to stop just after one iteration;
    }

    if(j==0)
        break;    // and then this break will cause the outermost loop to stop.
}

switch(i)
{
    case 0: break;    // This break will cause execution to skip executing the second case statement

    case 1: System.out.println("This will also never be printed");
}
