Break and Continue in C++

Break :

The break statement in C++ has the following two usage:
1. in loops
2. in switch - case

• The break statement stops the current iteration of loop and exit.

• It can be use to terminate a case in switch.

Example :

#include< iostream >
using namespace std;
int main( ) {
 int i;
 for(i=1; i<10; i++) {
   if(i==4){
    break;
   }
   cout<< i<<". Hello"<< endl;
 }
 return 0;
}

1. Hello
2. Hello
3. Hello

NOTE : Break, only terminates the current loop in which it occurs.

Continue :

The continue statement stops the current iteration of loop and continue the next iteration.

Exmple :

#include< iostream >
using namespace std;
int main( ) {
 int i;
 for(i=1; i<10; i++) {
   if(i==4 || i==7){
    continue;
   }
   cout<< i<<". Hello"<< endl;
 }
 return 0;
}

1. Hello
2. Hello
3. Hello
5. Hello
6. Hello
8. Hello
9. Hello

NOTE : Continue, use only within loops.
