keyword - Alternative to a goto statement in Java

Question

What is an alternative function for the goto keyword in Java?

Since Java does not have a goto.

Answer 1

You could use a labeled BREAK statement:

search:
    for (i = 0; i < arrayOfInts.length; i++) {
        for (j = 0; j < arrayOfInts[i].length; j++) {
            if (arrayOfInts[i][j] == searchfor) {
                foundIt = true;
                break search;
            }
        }
    }

However, in properly designed code, you shouldn't need GOTO functionality.
