Ruby, C, Java and more - getting out of loops

break and continue statements have been available for loop control for many years, and others functionallity has been added such as Perl's redo. From today's Ruby Course, here's a table that compares these loop controls in Ruby to similar commands in the other languages that I have been discussing with this week's course.

C/Java	Perl	Ruby	effect
break	last	last	Get me out the loop NOW!
continue	next	next	go for the next loop iteration
-	redo	redo	rerun current loop iteration
-	-	retry	let's start the loop again, should we?
