Sorry, but this isn't accurate. Try it and I think you'll be
surprised. The next() subroutine takes you to the next iteration of
the enclosing LOOP. Control statements, like if, are not loops and
thus have nothing to do with where next() sends you.
When you do have two loops and want to break to the outer one, you can
use a label.
LABEL: while (SOMETHING) {
while (SOMETHING_ELSE) {
next LABEL if SOME_REASON; # breaks to the first loop
}
}
But, this is not needed in your example, if I'm understanding your
question correctly. Good luck.
