When a break statement is encountered inside a loop, the loop is immediately terminated and the program control resumes at the next statement following the loop.

• When a break statement is encountered inside a loop,
the loop is immediately terminated and the program
control resumes at the next statement following the
loop.
• The Java break statement is used to break loop
or switch statement. It breaks the current flow of the
program at specified condition. In case of inner loop,
it breaks only inner loop.
• We can use Java break statement in all types of
loops such as for loop, while loop and do-while loop.

Syntax:
jump-statement;
break;

Java Program to demonstrate the use of break statement
//inside the for loop.
public class BreakExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//using for loop
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++){
if(i==5){
//breaking the loop
break;
}
System.out.println(i);
}
}

Java Continue Statement
• The continue statement is used in loop control
structure when you need to jump to the next iteration
of the loop immediately. It can be used with for loop
or while loop.
• The Java continue statement is used to continue the
loop. It continues the current flow of the program and
skips the remaining code at the specified condition. In
case of an inner loop, it continues the inner loop only.
• We can use Java continue statement in all types of
loops such as for loop, while loop and do-while loop.

Syntax:
jump-statement;
continue;

}

}
