Introduction

It is possible to label statements for later use with the following syntax: 

label: statement

Here's an example: 

start: for (var i=0; i < count; i++) {
    console.log(i);
}

In this example, the label start can be referenced later by using the break or continue statement.

Labeled statements are typically used with nested loops.
