C# break Vs continue Statement

C# break Vs continue Statement

The break statement in c# completely terminates the execution of the current loop, and processes the statement which is placed immediately after the loop.

The continue statement just skips the current iteration of the loop and processes the next iteration in the loop.

Break Statement
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
   if (i == 5)
   {
     break;
   }
   //
   Response.Write(i.ToString() + "<br>");
}
//
Response.Write("Statement after the for Loop");

Output
1
2
3
4
Statement after the for Loop

Continue Statement
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)

{

   if (i == 5)

   {

     continue;

   }

   //

   Response.Write(i.ToString() + "<br>");
}

//

Response.Write("Statement after the for Loop");

Output
1
2
3
4
6
7
8
9
10
Statement after the for Loop 

That’s it, we have seen the difference between break and continue statements in c#

C# break Statement

The break statement in c# is used to terminate a loop, if a break statement is placed in a loop then the loop execution is terminated on reaching the break statement, control is transferred to the next executable statement which is placed after the loop.

for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)

{

   if (i > 5)

   {

     break;

   }

   //

   Response.Write(i.ToString() + "<br>");

}

//

Response.Write("Statement after the for Loop");

In the above example when I values is greater than 5 the break statement is executed and control in transferred to the next statement outside the loop, the output in this case will be

1
2
3
4
5
Statement after the for Loop

That’s it, we have evaluated the use of the break statement.
