Break :

The break statement in Java 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 :

class BreakDemo
{  
 public static void main(String []arg)
 {  
  for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
   {  
     if(i==5)
      {  
       break;  
      }  
    System.out.println(i);  
  }  
  System.out.println("End");
 }  
}

End 

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 :

class ContinueDemo
{
 public static void main(String []arg)
 {  
  for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
   {  
    if(i==5)
    {  
     continue;  
    }  
    System.out.println(i);  
   } 
 }  
}
