I've got a nested for loop in some code and I'm trying to figure out how to break out of the inner loop without affecting the outer loop, and vice versa. Can someone explain what my code, which runs a loop from 0 to 10 for the outer and from 0 to n for the inner, would do? I'm looking for tips on how to modify it to achieve different break behaviors.

You can just run the code in an online compiler to see what it does! Just search for " online compiler" and paste your code to see the results. Also, make sure to specify which language you’re working with, since behavior can vary. For example, in Python, `break` will only exit the innermost loop.
This is a common issue and how you handle it can depend on the programming language you're using. One approach that can work across multiple languages is to set a flag for each loop, and check that flag at the end of the loop to see if you need to break out of it.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely try running it.
