LabelStatement.java

package Phase1_CoreLanguage.DecisionMaking.JumpStatement;

/**Java does not have a goto statement because it provides a way to branch in an arbitrary and unstructured manner.
 * Java uses label. A Label is use to identifies a block of code.
 Syntax:

 label:
 {
 statement1;
 statement2;
 statement3;
 .
 .
 }

 Now, break statement can be use to jump out of target block.
 Note: You cannot break to any label which is not defined for an enclosing block.
 Syntax:

 break label;**/

    //OUTPUT
    //Before the break.
    //This is after second block.
