break in C++
The C++ break statement is used to terminate the whole loop if the condition is met. Unlike the continue statement after the condition is met, it breaks the loop and the remaining part of the loop is not executed.
The break statement is used with decision-making statements such as if, if-else, or switch statement which is inside the for loop which can be for loop, while loop, or do-while loop. It forces the loop to stop the execution of the further iteration.

Example of break Statement
Consider a scenario where the series of a number is to be printed but not after a certain value K. So in this case, the idea is to use the break statement after the value of i is K. Below is the program for the same:
C++
// C++ program to demonstrate the// break statement#include <iostream>using namespace std;// Driver Codeint main(){ for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) { // Breaking Condition if (i == 5) break; cout << i << " "; } return 0;} |
