Hi,

I need to use break and continue to transfer my program flow. I hope to
use labels to explicitly state where the control flow will be, as
suggested by somebody in the newsgroup. I have noticed something strange:

block1:
{  //compiler doesn't allow "{" here
    for (int i = 0; ..)
    {
        if (conditionSatisfied) continue block1; //this will move control to
the beginning of for loop, for loop will continue to run

    } //end of for loop
} //compiler doesn't allow "}" here

block2:
{    //now compiler allows "{" here
    ...//more code
    for (int i = 0; ..)
    {
        if (conditionSatisfied) break block2; //this will move control to the
end of block2 immediately
    }
    ...//mode code

} //end of block2, break block2 will bring control to the line below
this line

My questions:
1) Why block1 cannot have a pair of {} while block2 can?
2) Is my understanding of the control flow using break or continue
correct in this demo?

Thank you very much.
