Label Continue in java programming (V41)

Continue Label

        The continue statement is used inside a loop to skip the current iteration and move to the next statement.
        A labeled continue is a more advanced feature that allows you to jump to the next iteration of the outer loop, not just the innermost loop.

public class ContinueLabel {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        outerLoop:
        for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= 3; j++) {
                if (j == 2) {
                    continue outerLoop;
                }
                System.out.println("i = " + i + ", j = " + j);
