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.

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














            On running the above program, you will get the following output:



















            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

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