Gives me o/p ';' expected
Whereas the same code if i replace false with a

compiles successfully !!
Also the foll compiles successfully

Why does the compiler allow false,true,null as labels if we cannot it as continue false or continue true.
Doesnt the java keyword/reserved policy apply to labels.
Can questions be expected of such behaviour involving labels??

as far as the exam goes, no questions involving using reserved words as labels will be asked.
