Break & Continue

Python break and continue

break exits the loop immediately. continue skips the rest of the current iteration and moves to the next one.

Using break

Stop the loop when a specific condition is met.

for num in range(1, 10):
    if num == 5:
        break
    print(num)

for num in range(1, 8):
    if num % 2 == 0:
        continue
    print(num)

break in Nested Loops

break only exits the innermost loop it is in.

for i in range(1, 4):
    for j in range(1, 4):
        if j == 2:
            break
        print(f"({i},{j})")
