Break and continue statement In Python is used to exit a loop early and to skip the rest of the current iteration and move on to the next one respectively.
Here is an example of how to use break and continue in a loop:
for i in range(10):
if i == 5:
break
print(i)
for i in range(10):
if i % 2 == 0:
continue
print(i)
The first loop will print the numbers 0 through 4, and then exit the loop when it reaches 5. The second loop will print the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 because it will skip the current iteration and move on to the next one if i is even.
It’s important to note that break and continue can only be used inside loops (for and while). Attempting to use them outside of a loop will result in a syntax error.
