C and C++ break Statement - switch case break

<<Previous

The break statement in C programming is used to branch out the switch case statement. It is also used to terminate the execution of loop statements such as for, while and do...while.

Syntax
  break;

break Statement inside while loop

while(expression)
{
	while(expression)
	{
		if (expression)
		break;
		statements
	}
	statements
}

Here the break will terminate the inner while-loop and proceed to execute the statements of the outer while-loop.

break Statement Example

#include<stdio.h>


int main()
{
  int a = 0;

  while(a <= 5)
  {
    if(a ==3)
     break;
    printf("The value of a = %d\n",a);
    a++ ;
  }

  printf("The final value of a = %d\n",a);

  return(0);

}

When you compile and execute the above program, you will get the following result.
