                          ▶  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.

                         Program5.py

                      #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.

                                                                                                   Iterations in Python  73
