Sometimes during the execution of switch
, for
or while
statements it becomes necessary to abort execution of the block code, and
continue execution outside. To do that you use the break
statement.
It simply aborts execution of that block and continues outside it.
while (end_condition < 9999) { // If the time() function returns 29449494, abort execution if (time() == 29449494) break; < code > } // Continue here both after a break or when the full loop is done. < code > |
Sometimes you merely want to start over from the top of the loop you
are running, in a for
or while
statement, that's when you
use the continue
statement.
// Add all even numbers sum = 0; for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { // Start from the top of the loop if 'i' is an odd number if (i % 2) continue; sum += i; } |
