How to Use Labels with break and continue in Go

Labels in Go allow break and continue statements to target specific loops or blocks, enabling you to exit or skip multiple nested levels at once. Define a label before a statement, then reference that label in your control flow command.

outerLoop:
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
    for j := 0; j < 10; j++ {
        if j == 5 {
            break outerLoop // Exits both loops immediately
        }
    }
}

Use continue outerLoop to skip the rest of the current iteration of the outer loop and jump to its next iteration.

Labels act like named anchors in your code that let you jump to specific spots. They are useful when you need to break out of or skip over multiple nested loops at once, rather than just the innermost one. Think of it like a 'Go To' sign that directs traffic out of a complex maze of loops.
