Break statement

 

Break statement allow us to jump out of the loop and the first statement after loop is executed.

It is also used to terminate a case in switch statement.

The break statement has simple syntax as follows:

                   
   break;

Example :

                   
 #include &ltstdio.h>
 int main()
 {
     int a =0;
     while(a<=10)
     {
        printf(“value of a is: %d\n”, a);
        if (a==3)
        {
            break;
        }
        a++;
     }
     printf(“Out of while-loop”);
     return 0;
   }        

Output :

                   
   value of a is: 0
   value of a is: 1
   value of a is: 2
   value of a is: 3
   Out of while-loop
