**`Break`** and **`continue`** are loop control statements in C++ that are used to exit from the loop or skip any iteration in the loop. 

#    
## `Break`
The `break` statement is used to terminate the loop. As soon as a `break` statement is executed within the loop, the loop iteration stops and the very next statement after the loop starts executing. 

## Syntax

The flow of a `break` statement is illustrated in the diagram below.  </br>



The `break` statement can be implemented in 3 types of loops:
* simple loop
* nested loop
* infinite loop

In a simple loop, the code right after the loop executes upon encountering a `break` statement.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  cout << "Before loop" << endl;
  for (int i=0 ; i<10 ; i++){
    cout << i << endl;
    if(i==5){
      break;
    }
  }
  cout << "After loop";
  return 0;
}

In a nested loop, a `break` statement only terminates the innermost loop.


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  cout << "Before loop" << endl;
  for (int i=0 ; i<10 ; i++){
    cout << "i: " <<  i << endl;
    for (int j =0 ; j< 3 ; j++){
      cout << "j: " << j << endl;
      if(j==1){
        cout << "using break ----" << endl;
        break;
      }
    }
    
  }
  cout << "After loop";
  return 0;
}


In an infinite loop, the `break` statement is used to terminate the loop and exit the infinite loop.


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int i = 0 ;
  while(1){
    cout << "i:" << i << endl;
    if(i==15){
      cout << "using break----" << endl;
      break;
    }
    i++;
  }
}


#    
## `Continue`

A `continue` statement, just like a `break` statement, is a loop control statement. Instead of terminating the loop and exiting from it, the `continue` statement forces the loop to skip the current iteration and continue from the next iteration. 

## Syntax

The flow of a `continue` statement is illustrated in the diagram below.

An example of the `continue` statement is given below.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  // your code goes here
  for (int i=1; i<=10 ; i++){
    if(i%2==0){
      cout <<"missing itertionusing continue statement" << endl;
      continue;
    }
    cout << i << endl;
  }
  return 0;
}

How to use break and continue in C++

Break and continue in C++ control loops by terminating (break) or skipping iterations (continue).
