java - How can I avoid using more than a single "break" statement in a loop? -

for code quality reason, refactor code little bit in order use 1 break statement in loop. not sure can way sonarqube aking me...

here's code :

for (integer integer: integerkey.keyset()) {     if (map.containskey(integerkey.get(integer))) {         typevalue value = map.get(integerkey.get(integer));         sb.append(integerkey.get(integer)).append(":");         sb.append(encodevalue(value));         sb.append("|");         if (integerkey.get(integer).equals(min)) {             break;         }     } else if (integerkey.get(integer) <= min){         typevalue value = map.get(min);         sb.append(min).append(":");         sb.append(encodevalue(value));         sb.append("|");         break;     } else {         sb.append(integerkey.get(integer)).append(":");         sb.append("0");         sb.append("|");     } } 

i same thing using 1 break not sure can write 1 if condition in case instead of if-elseif-else.

any ideas ?

thanks.

you define variable break-condition , include for-loop condition:

boolean endloop = false; (iterator<integer> keys = integerkey.keyset(); keys.hasnext() && !endloop; ) {     integer integer = keys.next();     if (map.containskey(integerkey.get(integer))) {         ...         if (integerkey.get(integer).equals(min)) {             endloop = true;         }     } else if (integerkey.get(integer) <= min){         ...         endloop = true;     } else {         ...     } } 

or declare local variable in loop set true if loop should left break:

for (integer integer: integerkey.keyset()) {     boolean endloop = false;     if (map.containskey(integerkey.get(integer))) {         ...         if (integerkey.get(integer).equals(min)) {             endloop = true;         }     } else if (integerkey.get(integer) <= min){         ...         endloop = true;     } else {         ...     }     if (endloop)         break; }
