Break Statement

The break statement enables a program to skip over a part of the code. A break statement terminates the very loop it lies within.

Example

for i in range(1,101,1):
	print(i ,end=" ")
	if(i==50):
		break
	else:
		print("Mississippi")
print("Thank you")

output

1 Mississippi
2 Mississippi
3 Mississippi
4 Mississippi
5 Mississippi
.
.
.
50 Mississippi

Continue Statement

The continue statement skips the rest of the loop statements and causes the next iteration to occur.

Example

for i in [2,3,4,6,8,0]:
	if (i%2!=0):
		continue
	print(i)

output

2
4
6
8
0

Main Example

# for i in range(12):
#   if(i == 10):
#     print("Skip the iteration")
#     continue
#   print("5 X", i, "=", 5 * i)
  
i = 0
while True:
  print(i)
  i = i + 1
  if(i%100 == 0):
    break
