Java - Break statement in java

The java programming language supports the following types of controlling statements such as:
1.The break statement
2.The continue statement
3.The return statement

Break: The break statement is used in many programming languages such as c, c++, java etc. Some times we need to exit from a loop before the completion of the loop then we use break statement and exit from the loop and loop is terminated. The break statement is used in while loop, do - while loop, for loop and also used in the switch statement.

Code of the program :


public class  Break{

 
  public static void main(String[] args){

 
  int i,j;


  System.out.println("Prime numbers between 1 to 50 : ");

   for (i = 1;i < 50;i++ ){


  for (j = 2;j < i;j++ ){

 
  if(i % j == 0)

   {

     break;

   }

   }


  if(i == j)

   {

   System.out.print("  " + i);

   }

   }

   }

 }

Output of the program :

C:\chandan>javac Break.java

C:\chandan>java Break
The Prime number in between 1 - 50 :
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47

Ironic...

Why on Earth would you use 2 FOR loops with modulus conditioning of single-character variables to explain BREAK statements!? (If someone comes to this website seeking an explanation about BREAK, then is it fair to assume that the person might have problems understanding your demo?)

output not correct

public class Break{ public static void main(String[] args){ int i,j; System.out.println("Prime numbers between 1 to 50 : "); for (i = 1;i < 50;i++ ){ for (j = 2;j < i;j++ ){ if(i % j == 0) { break; } } if(i-1 == j) //THE CORRECTION { System.out.print(" " + i); } } } } how to get the 2 in output?

No Correction

The code given above produces fair result. I've checked it and there isn't any need of correction in it, because it print all the prime numbers starting from 2 and ends at 47, which is, it suppose to display. So, all works good in this code.
