JavaScript Labels

To label JavaScript statements, you place a label name followed by a colon before the statements.

label:
statements

The break and continue statements are the only JavaScript commands that can “exit” a code block.

Syntax:

break labelname;

continue labelname;

The continue statement (with or without a label) is designed to skip a single iteration of a loop.

The break statement, when used without a label, can only exit a loop or a switch statement.

However, with a label reference, the break statement can be used to exit any code block.

Example

const cars = [“BMW”, “Volvo”, “Saab”, “Ford”];
list: {
text += cars[0] + “<br>”;
text += cars[1] + “<br>”;
break list;
text += cars[2] + “<br>”;
text += cars[3] + “<br>”;
}
