Consider the following Java code:

outer:

for (int i = 2; i < 1000; i++) {

for (int j = 2; j < i; j++) {

if (i % j == 0)

continue outer;

}

System.out.println(i);

}

A Java compiler might translate the Java code above into bytecode as

follows, assuming the above was put in a method:

0: iconst_2

1: istore_1

2: iload_1

3: sipush 1000

6: if_icmpge 44

9: iconst_2

10: istore_2

11: iload_2

12: iload_1

13: if_icmpge 31

16: iload_1

17: iload_2

18: irem

19: ifne 25

22: goto 38

25: iinc 2, 1

28: goto 11

31: getstatic #84; // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;

34: iload_1

35: invokevirtual #85; // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(I)V

38: iinc 1, 1

41: goto 2

44: return
