5. Control Flow, Exception Handling, and Assertions

5.1 Finding primes using for-loops. 
// Filename: ForPrimes.java
public class ForPrimes {
    final static int MAX = 100;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        numbers:
        for (int num = 1; num < MAX; num++) {
            int divLim = (int) Math.sqrt(num);

            for (int div = 2; div <= divLim; div++)
                if ((num % div) == 0) continue numbers;
            System.out.println(num);
        }
    }
}

Finding primes using while-loops.

 // Filename: WhilePrimes.java public class WhilePrimes { final static int MAX = 100; public static void main(String[] args) { int num = 1; numbers: while (num < MAX) { int number = num++; int divLim = (int) Math.sqrt(number); int div = 2; while (div <= divLim) if ((number % div++) == 0) continue numbers; System.out.println(number); ...
