What is the difference between continue and Break statements?

Question

I hope behavior would be same across languages?

Answer 1

If you want to leave a loop then you can use break and if you want to jump to next iteration then you use continue. See the following flow charts:

Break

Continue

Sample Code

for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
        if (i == 2) 
            break;
       printf("%d ", i);
}
Output: 0 1

for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
        if (i == 2) 
            continue;
       printf("%d  ", i);
}
Output: 0 1 3 4

Answer 2

continue:

1. If this statement is used within a loop then, it will skip rest part
   of the loop and continues to execute next iteration of the loop.

break:

1. If this statement is used within a loop then, it will skip rest part
   of the loop and also skips remaining iterations of the loop.
