Python break Statement
Python break Statement
It terminates the current loop and resumes execution at the next statement, just like the traditional break statement in C.
The most common use for break is when some external condition is triggered requiring a hasty exit from a loop. The break statement can be used in both while and for loops.
If you are using nested loops, the break statement stops the execution of the innermost loop and start executing the next line of code after the block.
Syntax
The syntax for a break statement in Python is as follows −
break
Flow Diagram

Example
for letter in 'Python': # First Example if letter == 'h': break print ('Current Letter :', letter) var = 10 # Second Example while var > 0: print ('Current variable value :', var) var = var -1 if var == 5: break print ("Good bye!")
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −
Current Letter : P Current Letter : y Current Letter : t Current variable value : 10 Current variable value : 9 Current variable value : 8 Current variable value : 7 Current variable value : 6 Good bye!
