break

The break Keyword is used to get out of the loop or break the given loop when the specific condition is true.

Example:

package quipohouse;
public class BreakStatement {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int i;
		for(i=0;i<5;i++)
		{
			if(i==3)
			{
				break;
			}
			System.out.println(i);
		}
	}
}

Output:

0
1
2

Key Point

Stops loop execution when the condition is true.
Exits only the innermost loop when nested loops are used

Explanation:

1. The loop runs from i = 0 to i < 5.

2. When i == 3, the break statement is triggered.

3. The loop stops execution and exits immediately.
