break statement is used to terminate the execution of the loop.

For example:

for i in range(6):

if i ==3:

break

print i

The output of the above code will be:

0

1

2

The loop terminates when i becomes 3 due to break statement

Whereas,

continue statement is used to force the next iteration while skipping the statements in the present iteration.

for i in range (6):

if i==3:

continue

print i

The output of the above code will be:

0

1

2

3

4

5

continue statement forces next iteration when i becomes 3, bypassing the print statement. Thus, in the output 3 is missing.
