break statement

break statement is used to jump out of a loop for a switch.

The following code terminates the for loop by using the break statement.

 
using System;

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

The output:


0
1
2
3
4

We can also use break statement to jump out of a while loop.


using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        int i = 10;

        while (i > 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(i);
            if (i == 5)
            {
                break;

            }

            i--;
        }
    }
}

The output:
