Jump statements can be used to modify the behaviour of conditional and iterative statements.

break and continue statements fall under the jump statements category.

break statement

• The break statement, borrowed from the C programming language, breaks out of the current loop when encountered.

• So, any further iterations will not be executed as the break statement changed the flow of the program by coming out of the loop.

Example:

Output:

Searching...  
Searching...  
Searching...  
Searching...  
Found the treasure

continue statement

• The continue statement, borrowed from the C programming language, continues with the next iteration of the loop when encountered.

• So, any code following the continue statement in a loop will be skipped and the loop will continue to the next iteration.

Example:

Output:

Found an even number 2  
Found an odd number 3  
Found an even number 4  
Found an odd number 5  
Found an even number 6  
Found an odd number 7  
Found an even number 8  
Found an odd number 9
