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 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.
Output:
Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Found the treasure
continue
statement
- The
continue
statement, borrowed from 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 the next iteration.
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
