Code
rust
fn main() {
'outer: for i in 0..5 {
for j in 0..5 {
if i + j > 4 {
println!("breaking at i={}, j={}", i, j);
break 'outer;
}
println!("({}, {})", i, j);
}
}
// labeled loop with return value
let result = 'search: loop {
for i in 0..10 {
if i * i > 50 {
break 'search i;
}
}
};
println!("first i where i*i > 50: {}", result);
}Explanation
Labels let you break/continue specific nested loops.
