How can I break from a try/catch block without throwing an exception in Java

Question

I need a way to break from the middle of try/catch block without throwing an exception. Something that is similar to the break and continue in for loops. Is this possible?

Answer 1

In this sample in catch block i change the value of counter and it will break while block:

class TestBreak {
    public static void main(String[] a) {
        int counter = 0;

        while(counter<5) {
            try {
                counter++;
                int x = counter/0;
            }
            catch(Exception e) {
                counter = 1000;    
            }
        }
    }
}k
