▶ Iterative statements are also known as looping statements.
▶ The while loop is used to execute a block of statements repeatedly for a given number of times
until the specified condition becomes false.
JUMP STATEMENTS
These statements are used to exit the loop or current iteration even if the condition has not become
false. They alter the flow of control unconditionally. The jump statements defined in Python are
break and continue.
THE break STATEMENT
The break statement is used for exiting the program control out of the loop. The break statement
stops the execution of the loop and program flow continues to the statement after the loop. A
single break statement will break out of only one loop.
Program 5: To demonstrate the use of the break statement in a loop.

#Program to show the use of the break statement in the for loop
for number in range(0, 12):
if(number == 7):
break
print('Number is:', number)
print('Out of loop')
On running the above program, we get the following output:
Output
Number is: 0
Number is: 1
Number is: 2
Number is: 3
Number is: 4
Number is: 5
Number is: 6
Out of loop
The for loop will print the numbers from 0 to 6 because as soon as the number reaches 7, the
break statement is executed, stopping the loop.
