Break and continue

Break:

The break statement
terminates the loop containing it and control of the program flows to the
statement immediately after the body of the loop. If break statement is inside
a nested loop, break will terminate the innermost loop.

break
in for loop

for var in sequence:

#
code inside for loop

If
condition:

break
(if break condition satisfies it jumps to outside loop)

#
code inside for loop

# code outside for loop

break
in while loop

while test expression

#
code inside while loop

If
condition:

break
(if break condition satisfies it jumps to outside loop)

#
code inside while loop

# code outside while
loop

Example:

for num in [11, 9, 88,
10, 90, 3, 19]:

print(num)

if(num==88):

print("The number
88 is found")

print("Terminating
the loop")

break

Continue:

The continue statement
is used to skip the rest of the code inside a loop for the current iteration
only. Loop does not terminate but continues on with the next iteration.

continue in for loop:

for var
in sequence:

#
code inside for loop

If
condition:

continue
(if break condition satisfies it jumps to outside loop)

#
code inside for loop

# code outside for loop

continue
in while loop;

while test expression

#
code inside while loop

If
condition:

continue(if
break condition satisfies it jumps to outside loop)

#
code inside while loop

# code outside while
loop

Example:

# program to display
only odd numbers

for num in [20, 11, 9,
66, 4, 89, 44]:

# Skipping the
iteration when number is even

if num%2 == 0:

continue

#
This statement will be skipped for all even numbers

print(num)
