C Break for loop

     

In this section, you will learn how to use break statement in a for loop.

The break statement terminates the execution of the enclosing loop or conditional statement. In a for loop statement, the break statement can stop the counting when a given condition becomes true. You can see in the given example that the program is supposed to count the numbers from 1 to 20 using for loop. As per the condition defined the break statement stop the execution of the loop as soon as it detects the number 5 .

Here is the code:

BREAKFor.C

 

 

#include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> void main() {   clrscr();   int n;   for (n=1; n<20; n++) {   printf("%d\n", n);   getch();   if (n==5)   break;   } }

Output will be displayed as:
