Breakpoint doesn't work

My Code :

class MixFor5 {
public static void main (String [] args) {
    int x = 0;
    int y = 30;
    for (int outer = 0; outer < 3; outer++) {
        for (int inner = 4; inner > 1; inner--) {
            x = x + 3;
            y = y - 2;
            if (x == 6) {
                break; // *Useless break;*
            }
            x = x + 3; 
        }
        y = y - 2; 
    }
    System.out.println(x + " " + y);
 }
}

My output:

54 6

Can someone explain to me. Why when I remove break; my output data don't change at all.

Solution

  • You are never fulfilling the if(x==6)

    lets take a look at the first loop: 

    int x = 0; 

//....

x = x + 3; // x = 3;
if( x == 6 ) //false
   break;

x = x + 3; // x = 6

    now the second loop

    x = x + 3 // x = 9

if( x == 6 ) //false x = 9
    break;
x = x + 3; //x = 12

    so you never are equal to 6 when comparing.
