Question

I have the following situation:

IF condition THEN  
    IF condition THEN 
        sequence 1
    ELSE
        break //?  
    ENDIF    
ELSE    
    sequence 3    
ENDIF

What is the result of the break statement? Does it break the outer if statement? Because this is what I actually need.

Answer 1

no it doesnt. break is for loops, not ifs.

nested if statements are just terrible. If you can avoid them, avoid them. Can you rewrite your code to be something like

if (c1 && c2) {
    //sequence 1
} else if (c3 && c2) {
   // sequence 3
}

that way you don’t need any control logic to ‘break out’ of the loop.
