In Python there is an efficient for .. else loop implementation described
here
Example code:
for x in range(2, n):
if n % x == 0:
print n, 'equals', x, '*', n/x
break
else:
# loop fell through without finding a factor
print n, 'is a prime number'
In Java I need to write more code to achieve the same behavior:
finishedForLoop = true;
for (int x : rangeListOfIntegers){
if (n % x == 0)
{
//syso: Some printing here
finishedForLoop = false
break;
}
}
if (finishedForLoop == true){
//syso: Some printing here
}
Is there any better implementation similar to Python for .. else loop in Java?

Answer
It’s done like this:
class A {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n = 13;
found: {
for (int x : new int[]{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12})
if (n % x == 0) {
System.out.println("" + n + " equals " + x + "*" + (n/x));
break found;
}
System.out.println("" + n + " is a prime number");
}
}
}
$ javac A.java && java A 13 is a prime number
