error

[jioy uilo]

why error in the line after 12:
public static void main(String[] args) {
int counter = 0;
l1:
for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
l2:
int j = 0;
while (j++ < 10) {
if (j > i) break l2;
if (j == i) {
counter++;
continue l1;
}
}
}
System.out.println(counter);
}
}

There cannot be intervening sentences bewteen a label an the loop it marks. That is "l2:" and "int j =0" have to be swapped.
Please ident your code using UBB.

One thing more there can not be a label on a variable declaration.

So where are all the legal positions for a label? In my book I only see it being applied on the same line as the loop construct.
