for(i=1; i<=10; i++)

if(i==5)

System.out.println("The value of i is: " + i);
}

In the preceding program, the 'for' loop terminates when the value of variable 'i' becomes 5. This
is because the 'break' statement gets executed when the condition given with the ‘if’ keyword
becomes true (i == 5), which causes the loop to stop executing and come outside the loop.
The continue Statement
Unlike the 'break' statement, the continue statement forces the next iteration of the loop to take
place and skips the current iteration.
For example:
public class ContinueStatement
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i;
for(i=1; i<=10; i++)
{
if(i==5)
{ Output
System.out.println("Loop is continued");
continue;
}
else
