Break

  • This statement is used with switch statement.
  • Can also be used with while loop, do – while loop and for loop.
  • When the control encounters a break statement, the control will terminate the loop immediately and the statements after break will not be executed.

Syntax

Sample Code

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
  
    int i = 0 , j = 0;
  
    // Iterate a loop over the
    // range [0, 5]
     for(int i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i ++)
    {
          printf(“i = %d, j = “, i);
  
        // Iterate a loop over the
        // range [0, 5]
        for(int j = 0 ; j < 5 ; J ++){
  
            // Usage of Break statement
             If ( j == 2)
            
                break;
             printf(“%d “, j);
                    }
  
        printf("\n");
    }
  
    return 0;
}

Continue

  • This statement is used to bring the control to the beginning of the loop.
  • The continue statement skips some lines of code inside the loop and continues with the next iteration.
  • It is mainly used in a program for skiiping certain condition.
  • This statement does not exit from the loop of the body.
  • It is not used to exit from the loop body.
  • Continue statement is not used with switch statement.
  • It can be used only with while, do while and for loop.
  • When the control encounters continue statement,control automatically executes the remaining statements of the loop body.

                continue;
              printf("%d ", j);
