Break Statement in C#

Break statement,  as the name suggests, is used to stop the code execution at a specified position in the program.

Let us check this out with the help of an example. Let us create a Console Application in Visual Studio. Write the following code in the application.

  1. using System;  
  2. usingSystem.Collections.Generic;  
  3. usingSystem.Linq;  
  4. usingSystem.Text;  
  5. usingSystem.Threading.Tasks;  
  6. namespaceBreakStatement  
  7. {  
  8.     class Program  
  9.     {  
  10.         static void Main(string[] args)  
  11.         {  
  12.             for (inti = 0; i < 6; i++)  
  13.             {  
  14.                 Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());  
  15.                 if (i == 4)  
  16.                     break;  
  17.             }  
  18.             Console.WriteLine("The execution has stopped!!");  
  19.             Console.ReadLine();  
  20.         }  
  21.     }  
  22. }  
Let us check the output of the program.



Well as we can see "5" is not included in the output because we specified the break statement in the code.
