Can you explain why the code is not causing compiler error even though label "JILL" in line 6 is not used for a block?
However, if I use if (c > 3) break JILL; else c++; in line 6 instead of using JACK, then it causes compiler error.

What are the situations using labels are illegal?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
