            }
        }
        else if (b==2) ...

People generally consider it bad practice to jump in the code like this. Have you tried using other looping structures like a while loop to contain the code? — phflack, Nov 06 '15 at 15:22

It's a really bad practice to jump in the code like this. Have you consider using a recursive method?

If you want to make use of continue properly , you should read this question.
