Python Break and Continue

Python break

Break statement in python is used to terminates the current loop and resumes the execution statements. With the break statement, we can stop the loop before it has looped through all the items:

Break Python syntax:

Break statement in for loop

We can use break statements in for loops to exit the current loop, which will terminate the loop’s flow.

Lets see how python break for loop works

Example of the break in python

The output of the break statement program.

Python break statement in if else conditional statements

We can also use the python break function in if else, conditional statement, which will break the conditions’ flow.

Let see an example of a break in conditional statements.

The output will be as follows.

Here the above program will print items in the list one by one. Still, inside the for loop, we have implemented a condition with if the value is banana, then break statement will call which will break the loop, and the flow will be exited so that only one item is printing.

Python continue

The continue statement in python will end the current loop and condition without exiting the main loop; it will end the loop’s current iteration and start the next iteration.

Continue python syntax

Python continue Statement in for loop with if conditional statement.

With the continue statement, we can stop the current iteration of the loop and continue with the next:

Example of python continue in for loop.

The output of the continue statement.

Here we are implementing the if conditional statement inside the for loop, and in the if conditional statement, we are using the continue statement.

The if continental statement is given x equal to banana if the for-loop item will be banana, then if the conditional statement is executed, the continue statement and loop will be skipped so that it is not printing the item banana.
