JavaScript Break Continue Statement: In this tutorial you will come to know about the break and continue statements of JavaScript, given examples will help you to go through the concept of break and continue statements of JavaScript.

JavaScript Break-Continue Statement:

Generally we need to put the break statement in our programming language when we have to discontinue the flow of the program. On the other hand continue helps us to continue the flow, like the flow of loops etc., JavaScript like other languages supports both.

Example 1(Break):

<html>
<head>
<title>Write your title here </title>
<script type="text/javascript" >
for(x=1;x<10;x++)
{
	if(x%5==0)
		{
			document.write("Divisible by 5");
			break;

		}
		document.write(x+"<br/>");
}
</script>
</head>
</html>

Output:

1
2
3
4
Divisible by 5

Example 2 (Continue):

<html>
<head>
<title>Write your title here </title>
<script type="text/javascript" >
for(x=1;x<=10;x++)
{
	for(y=10;y>=1;y--)
	if(x==y)
		{
			document.write("Same No.");
			continue;

		}
		document.write(x+"<br/>");
}
</script>
</head>
</html>

Output:

Same No.1
Same No.2
Same No.3
Same No.4
Same No.5
Same No.6
Same No.7
Same No.8
Same No.9
Same No.10
