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.

#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
