    The Break Statement

                     The break is a keyword in Python which is used for bringing the program control out of the loop. The

                     break statement halts the execution of a loop and program flow switches to the statement after the loop.
                     A single break statement will break out of only one loop. The syntax of the break statement is shown
                     below.

                     Syntax:
                     #loop statement

                         break
                      Program 7: To demonstrate the use of the break statement in a loop.

                         Program7.py

                      File  Edit  Format   Run   Options   Window     Help

                      #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')

                     You will 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 Continue Statement

                     The continue statement is used inside loops. When a continue statement is encountered inside a loop,
                     control of the program jumps to the beginning of the loop for next iteration, skipping the execution of
                     rest of the statements of the loop for the current iteration.

                     Syntax:
                     #loop statements
                          continue

                     #the code to be skipped

                                                                                                      Loops in Python  147
