Question

I have a method to compare two list of objects.

The objects are unique in both lists.

I doing it with 2 level nested for loops

I want to terminate the inner for loop’s remaining cycles if two objects match correctly.

Is it possible to terminate the remaining iteration of a for loop in Java?!

Thanks

The Sample Code:

public class NestedForLoops {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String one = "abcdefgh";
    String two = "ijkhmnop";
    System.out.println(nestedForLoop(one, two));

  }

  public static String nestedForLoop(String one, String two)
  {
    String res = "";
    for(int i = 0; i < one.length(); i++)
    {
        for(int j = 0; j < two.length(); j++)
        {
            if(one.charAt(i) == two.charAt(j)){
                System.out.println(i + "   " + j);
                res += one.charAt(i);
                continue;
            }
        }
    }
    return res;
  }

}

Break inner:

for (Object o1 : list1)
   for (Object o2 : list2)
        if (o1.equals(o2))
            break;

Break outer for loop:

outer: for (Object o1 : list1)
   for (Object o2 : list2)
        if (o1.equals(o2))
            break outer;
