pls consider this program i don't know how h value is incremented in Label1:

[giribabu rosi]

class Asam {
  public static void main (String args[]) {
    int h = 0, i = 0, j = 0, k = 0;
label1:
    for (;  ;)   {
      h++;
label2:
      do {
        i++;
System.out.println("the i value="+i+","+j+","+h);
        k = h + i + j;
        switch (k) {
          default: break label1;
          case 1: continue label1;
          case 2: break;
          case 3: break label2;
          case 4: continue label2;
          case 5: continue label1;
        }
      } while (++j<5);
    }
    System.out.println(h + "," + i + "," + j);
  }
}

Well it is incremented by the h++ at the top of the code, just below the for loop. There are several cases when the program breaks to label1, thus causing h to be incremented.
