how label work ?

[Alvin chew]

can someone pls tell how label work and the scope of coverage by label ?

 
 mylabel :
     for()
      {..}
 
      for()
      {..}

is that means, if mylabel have labeled, the scope for "mylabel" label cover 2 for loop ? thank you very much for explain

The for statement includes the block it controls.

This is one statement:
for ( i = 1; i <= 10; i++ ) { sum += i; product *= i; }

This is one labeled staement:
myLabel: for ( i = 1; i <= 10; i++ ) { sum += i; product *= i; }

The label only controls the one statement immediately following, so in your example, mylabel controls the first for statement.
