A student's question

Name: Anonymous 2011-05-30 12:20

My teacher keeps drilling into our collective heads that using the break command is harmful, and that if we wish to terminate a loop early it would be far better to create a boolean variable, set it to 0, and add a condition to the head of the loop, and set the boolean variable to 1 when a break is needed. Note that this way you actually have to check this every single loop (where it is not needed almost every time) as well as waste a command to reset the boolean in case it was set to true.

Is there a reason to this?

Your C/C++ indendation is horrible! Use something like:

for (int ii=0
    ;ii<1000
    ;ii++)
   {for (int jj=0
        ;jj<1000
        ;jj++)
       {for (int kk=0
            ;kk<1000
            ;kk++)
           {if (wantToBreak)
              {kk=1000;
               jj=1000;
               ii=1000;}}}}
