break : Java Glossary

break

When a modem desperately wants to gain the attention of the other modem, it can send a long string of 0s, perhaps 250 milliseconds — a quarter of a second. This is a pattern that could never occur naturally in data because it is lacking start/stop bits. Break usually means "Hold everything, stop the world, I want to get off.".

break is also a keyword in Java that lets you leap out of a loop or out of nested loops when it is used with a label. It is also used to terminate the code for a case is a switch.
