Question about loops and continue

Question

So is this actually naming the loop to nextLoop? So when it says continue nextLoop, does it go back to the top right away?

   var t         


        

Answer 1

other languages let you break out of a selected number of inner loops, if(!x)break 2; would continue the process at a point two steps up.

I've seen complex loops with multiple loop labels, and continues called to a specific label, but I agree it can confuse the logic.

You can almost always improve the efficiency of a loop by writing it without the continue:

var total= 0;
nextLoop: 
for (var i = 0; i < 7; ++i ){
    for (var j = 0; j < 6 ; ++j ){
        if(i>4) total++;
    }
    total++;
}

total++;
