Tischler) Newsgroups: net.lang.c Subject: Breaking out of several nested loops Message-ID: <631@ihuxs.UUCP> Date: Tue, 2-Oct-84 12:54:07 EDT Article-I.D.: ihuxs.631 Posted: Tue Oct 2 12:54:07 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 3-Oct-84 19:58:07 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 31 A while ago, someone told me that they thought it was possible to break out of several nested loops at once using a statement like "break 3". It would, for example, break out of the following sequence: i = 1; while . . for . . switch . . break; i = 2; It doesn't seem to work, and I was wondering if perhaps someone knew of a way to do that without having to set 3 separate boolean flags? Please send mail to me. Thanks. -- Mark Tischler (312) 420-7272 (home) (312) 979-2626 (work) ihnp4!ihuxs!tischler
