[aruna1982]

A break statement with no label attempts to transfer control to the innermost enclosing switch, while, do, or for statement; this statement, which is called the break target, then immediately completes normally. If no switch, while, do, or for statement encloses the break statement, a compile-time error occurs.

Is this statement true? break transfers the control to the end of while,for or switch block starting with the break. Isn't?

Yes, this is from JLS. Please see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls ... #jls-14.15 for more details.

If no labelled statement with Identifier as its label contains the continue statement, a compile-time error occurs.

I cannot wrap my mind around this sentence. Is it correct (maybe that's just my lack of English understanding)?
Does it mean the same as "if there is no statement with the same label as in the continue"?

Basically, if you are doing continue or break <some label>; then a statement having that same label should exist otherwise it wouldn't make any sense to break or continue to that statement!
