Is it possible to use break with ternary operator

Question

Is it possible use the break and continue words with ternary operator?

There is an example:

int variable = 0;
        
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    variable = (i % 2 == 0) ? break : variable;
    System.out.println(variable);

No. It doesn't really make sense, and thus isn't supported.

EDIT

The following code has been added to the question:

int variable = 5
        
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    variable = (variable == 5) ? break : variable
    System.out.println(variable)

variable = (variable == 5) ? break : variable isn't valid, but it were, I think that could be simplified to this:

int variable = 5

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    if(variable == 5) { break; }
    System.out.println(variable)

The "else" condition in your proposed ternary operator would be assigning the variable its own value, which of course is a step you can skip.

Presumably your actual scenario is more sensible than the way that sample code is written. You wouldn't want i < 10 if your intent was to quit when you got to 5.
