bookbreak statement

The break statement is used for breaking / stopping a loop mid-execution. It is useful in cases where we want to stop a loop in case some additional condition is met.

Following is an example of the break statement being used in the for-loop:

cs

main

copy
12345678910111213141516171819
using System; namespace ConsoleApp { internal class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { Console.WriteLine(i); if(i == 5) { break; } } } } }

The above code outputs i till 5 and then the loop stops. This is because of the additional conditional break we added.

We can also use the break statement in other loops:

cs

main

copy
12345678910111213141516171819
using System; namespace ConsoleApp { internal class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { int i = 0; while(true) { Console.WriteLine(i); if(i == 5) { break; } i++; } } } }

The loop we constructed above works exactly the same as the for-loop we looked at before. The break statement can be used in the do-while loops as well. The break statement is very useful in adding additional conditions to a loop.
