Break statement in C#.

[sacoskun]

I would like to ask why break statements cannot have labels in C#? For instance; label1: for(;;) { label2: for(;;) { label3: for(;;) { break label2; } } } Kind Regards, Sarp Arda Coskun -- modified at 12:47 Thursday 8th December, 2005

What for would you need this?

[sacoskun]

As far as I know Java have this. And it could be beatiful to goto label2 directly for example. Not only a break to one outer loop. Sarp Arda Coskun

You could still use X| goto , but remember: For every goto you use, god kills a kitten! mav

Perl does it and it makes sense to me. *shrug* --- Shawn Poulson spoulson@explodingcoder.com

C# is a post C++ and Java language, It took the good from both languages. using labels in code makes it unreadable, using labels is not a good idea. Thats y they got rid of so called labels. :) Work smarter, not harder -- modified at 16:55 Thursday 8th December, 2005

Man, what you're asking for is damn ugly. If Java has this, I'm glad I don't use Java. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

C# has labels and goto statements but not allow labels with break statements. However, I also agree on that it decreases the readibility of the code.

Huh, this is the first time that I see the word ugly on a statement, thanks for you comment friend:) Sarp Arda Coskun
