Break Statement in C

Break Statement is use to terminate the flow of switch case and to come out of the switch case.

Where we use break statement?

We use break statement only in the two places in the program

• Inside the loops
• Or only inside the switch case

Syntax of break statement:

	
    break;
    

Example of break statement:

	
    #include<stdio.h>
	#include<conio.h>

	void main()
	{
		int i;
		clrscr();

		for(i=1; i<=10; i++)
		{
			if(i==6)
			{
			break;
			}
			printf("%d\n",i);
		}

		getch();
	}
    

Output:

	
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    

In above example we are terminating the iteration after 5 number with help of break statement. It will only print the numbers before the termination condition.
