Hi there!
I recently got into a discussion with my Java professor. In her style guide she specifically mentions to never use the break
or continue
keywords in loops as they are, according to her, outdated and unviable. I have tried to prove by counter example when they are more useful than alternatives, without success.
This has gotten me wondering if these keywords are actually outdated, I am still a student after all. So I wanted to know from someone at Apple if using break
or continue
is forbidden, discouraged or fine to use (specifically in java but general guidelines are also fine) and why?
Any answer from a current or former Apple employee would help me greatly to have an insight into how the industry handles these keywords and I thank you in advance for your response.
If there is a better place to ask this please direct me towards that.
