Also, that statement is guaranteed to be wrong. You don't "break" if clauses. But hey, it's about hackers and on mit.edu, it must be correct :)

- keithpeter 13y agoYes, I thought that the 'break' keyword wasn't used in if clauses. I took it to mean a problem with line ending resulting in the premature closure of the switch block. Anyone any ideas as to possible syntax?
- epsylon 13y agoIt would make sense if the author had meant do clause instead of if clause. Something like that: do { switch (bleh) { case MEH: if (derp) { break; /* supposed exit the do..while loop early... except it only exits the switch statement */ } [...] break; /* usually there's a break at the end of each case statement, but the programmer might not have seen it if it's far away */ [...] } fun_stuff(); /* not supposed to be called when bleh == MEH and derp is non-null */ } while (quux);
