Question

What are the differences between break and continue statement.

Answer 1

Break:

• Break is used to terminate the execution of the loop.
• It breaks the iteration.
• When this statement is executed, control will come out from the loop and executes the statement immediate after loop.
• Break is used with loops as well as switch case.

Continue:

• Continue is not used to terminate the execution of loop.
• It skips the iteration.
• When this statement is executed, it will not come out of the loop but moves/jumps to the next iteration of loop.
• Continue is only used in loops, it is not used in switch case.
