C program to Implement BREAK Statement

Break is a simple statement. It only makes sense if it occurs in the body of a switch, do, while or for statements.

When it is executed, the control flow jumps out of the loop when the condition met. 

If you use break, it will go out of the loop and executes the statements out of the loop. Continue will just skip that particular iteration and continue the loop.

Break is mainly used in switch statement.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i;
    for (i=1; i<=10; i++)
    {
        printf("\n%d", i);
        if (i == 6)
            break;
    }
    return 0;
}

OUTPUT:

1
2
3
4
5
6

BREAK stops the execution of the LOOP and gets out from the loop when condition met 6 in the above program. Where as CONTINUE will skip the current iteration and proceed with next iteration.
