Answer 1

There is a label named &quot;outer&quot; on the 3rd line.

&quot;continue outer&quot; will simply transfer flow back to this label rather than continuing with the inner loop [ for(int j=0; j&lt;10; j ) ]

This is basically just a check to make sure values stay within predefined parameters. However, this code could have been written without the continue statement.

Answer 2

This will run in an indefinite loop as both loop counters i and j are not getting incremented. Syntactically continue outer is not wrong. but as logic says control will not enter in if condition. Revert if you have doubts
