break in c

break:

• It is a keyword.
• It is branching statement.
• It is used to break loop or switch.

We can break infinite loop using break statement.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
	while(1)
	{
		printf("Infinite loop can break\n");
		break;
	}
	return 0;
}

• We cannot break a block(if, else…)
• Block executes only once and terminates automatically.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
	if(1)
	{
		printf("block\n");
		break;  --> Error :
	}
	return 0;
}

We can break a loop on condition as follows.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
	int i;
	for(i=1 ; i<=10 ; i++)
	{
		if(i==5)
		{
			break;
		}
		printf("i value : %d \n", i);
	}
	return 0;
}
