break

I can't seem to be able to add text to a canvas if the text includes "\n". I mean, the line breaks do not show/work. ctxPaint.fillText("s ome \n \\n <br/> thing", x, y); The above code will draw "s ome \n <br/> thing" , on one line. Is this a limitation of fillText or am I doing it wrong? the "\n"s are there, and aren't printed, but they don't work either. Simon Sarris I'm afraid it is a limitation of Canvas' fillText . There is no multi-line support. Whats worse, there's no built-in way to measure line height, only width, making doing it yourself even harder! A lot of people have written

What is the best way to exit/terminate a while loop in Java? For example, my code is currently as follows: while(true){ if(obj == null){ // I need to exit here } } Use break : while (true) { .... if (obj == null) { break; } .... } However, if your code looks exactly like you have specified you can use a normal while loop and change the condition to obj != null : while (obj != null) { .... } while(obj != null){ // statements. } break is what you're looking for: while (true) { if (obj == null) break; } alternatively, restructure your loop: while (obj != null) { // do stuff } or: do { // do stuff

I'm writing some code that looks like this: while(true) { switch(msg->state) { case MSGTYPE: // ... break; // ... more stuff ... case DONE: break; // **HERE, I want to break out of the loop itself** } } Is there any direct way to do that? I know I can use a flag, and break from the loop by putting a conditional break just after the switch. I just want to know if C++ has some construct for this already. Dave Jarvis Premise The following code should be considered bad form, regardless of language or desired functionality: while( true ) { } Supporting Arguments The while( true ) loop is poor form

If I use a break statement, it will only break inner loop and I need to use some flag to break the outer loop. But if there are many nested loops, the code will not look good. Is there any other way to break all of the loops? (Please don't use goto stmt .) for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < 1000; j++) { if(condition) { // both of the loops need to break and control will go to stmt2 } } } stmt2 What about: if(condition) { i = j = 1000;break; } No, don't spoil the fun with a break . This is the last remaining valid use of goto ;) If not this then you could use flags to break out
