91+ You may also encounter situations where you have nested loops and need to
92+ specify which one your ` break ` or ` continue ` statement is for. Like most
93+ other languages, by default a ` break ` or ` continue ` will apply to innermost
94+ loop. In a sitation where you would like to a ` break ` or ` continue ` for one
95+ of the outer loops, you can use labels to specify which loop the ` break ` or
96+ ` continue ` statement applies to. This will only print when both ` x ` and ` y ` are
97+ odd:
98+
99+ ``` rust
100+ 'outer : for x in 0 .. 10 {
101+ 'inner : for y in 0 .. 10 {
102+ if x % 2 == 0 { continue 'outer ; } // continues the loop over x
103+ if y % 2 == 0 { continue 'inner ; } // continues the loop over y
104+ println! (" x: {}, y: {}" , x , y );
105+ }
106+ }
107+ ```
108+
