Python break Statement
The break statement is used to terminate the for loop or the while loop.
For this, we use the keyword break.
Break with for loop
The break will terminate the for loop on meeting the specific condition.
For example, in the below code we will iterate from the string and in case letter ‘a’ is found in the string, then it will break the loop.
Loop break at letter ‘a’.
In [1]:
name = "Logical"
for letter in name:
if letter == 'a':
break
print(letter)
Break with while loop
Same way, we can terminate the while loop using the break statement.
For example, here, we will break the while loop when the value of i = 3.
Loop break at number 3.
In [1]:
i = 0
while i < 5:
i = i + 1
if i == 3:
break
print(i)
