Break Statement:

Break statement is used to exit the loop without executing all loops. When we use the break statement will loop immediately terminate and control is transferred outside the loop. Let’s see an example:

for i in range(1, 6):
    if i == 3:
        break
    print(i)

1
2

Here, a loop is running from 1 to 5, but when the value of ‘i’ becomes 3, due to the break statement, the loop terminates, and control is transferred outside the loop.

Break Statement with while Loop:

We can also terminate the while loop using the break statement. For example

i = 0

while i < 5:
    if i == 3:
        break
    print(i)
    i += 1

The Output Of This Code Will Be:

0
1
2

How Break Statement Works:

Continue Statement:

Continue statement used to skip the next iteration immediately. When continuing statement executes, loop control transfers to the next iteration.

for i in range(1, 6):
    if i == 3:
        continue
    print(i)

The Output Of This Code Will Be:

1
2
4
5

Here, when the value of ‘i’ becomes 3, due to the continue statement, the loop skips that iteration and directly moves to the next iteration, preventing the printing of 3.

The use of both these statements helps you control the loop and modify the loop behavior based on specific conditions.
