The difference between break and continue when jumping out of a loop

The difference between break and continue when jumping out of a loop

● break: Break out of this loop and execute the statements below this loop.

● continue: Terminate this cycle and enter the next cycle.

break example:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int num = 0;
    int i = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        if (num == 5)
        {
            break;
            num += 2;  
        }
        num += 1;
    }
    printf("%d\n", num);
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

The output result is 5.

When num =5, the program jumps out of the loop directly and executes the output statement, so the output is 5.

continueExample:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int num = 0;
    int i = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        
        if (num == 5)
        {
            num += 2;
            continue;
        }
        num += 1;
    }
    printf("%d\n", num);
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

The output result is 11.
