C Break Statement

Why Break Statement?

Though break statement comes under decision-making statement, its most oftenly using in looping. One can use the break statement to break out from a loop or switch statement. When break is executed within a loop, the loop ends immediately, and execution continues with the first statement following the loop.

Break Statement Program

Let us write a C program to demonstrate break statement.

#include <stdio.h> //header file section
int main()
{
int a;
for(a = 1;a <= 5;a++)
{
if(a == 4)
{
break;
}
printf("%d ", a);
}
return 0;
}
