The break statement
The break statement is used to break out of an
iteration statement block:
int MyVariable = 0;
while(MyVariable < 10)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(MyVariable);
if(MyVariable == 5)
break;
MyVariable++;
}
System.Console.WriteLine("Out
of the loop.");
The preceding code prints the following to the console:
0
1
2
3
4
Out of the loop.
The continue statement
The continue statement returns control to the Boolean expression that controls
an iteration statement.
int MyVariable;
for(MyVariable = 0; MyVariable < 10; MyVariable++)
{
if(MyVariable == 5)
continue;
System.Console.WriteLine(MyVariable);
}
The preceding code prints the following to the console:
0
1
2
3
4
6
7
8
9
Main difference is
- Break statement is break the iteration
statement
- The continue statement returns control to
the Boolean expression that controls an iteration stateme
