THE while LOOP

            The while loop repeats a block of statements for a given number of times, until the control condition
            is false. In this looping construct, first, the condition is checked and if it is true, the control will move
            inside the loop and execute the statements until the condition becomes false. If the initial condition
            is false then the control will not enter the loop block. The syntax of while loop is as follows:

            while(loop - condition):
                statement(s)

                      JUMP STATEMENTS

            These statements are used to jump out of the loop iterations 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 in the for and while loops to terminate the loop and completely
            transfer the control from the loop to the next statement after the body of the loop. It is mostly used
            when we need to exit from a loop at times.

            Program 8: To demonstrate the use of break statement.
