Break Statement Example

Below is a simple example to demonstrate the use of break statement in c programming:

Example:-

In the above program, the variable count is initialized as 0. Then a while loop is executed as long as the variable count is less than 10. Inside the while loop, the count variable is incremented by 1 with each iteration (count = count + 1). Next, we have an if statement that checks the variable count is equal to 5, if it returns TRUE causes the loop to break or terminate. Within the loop, there is a printf statement that will execute with each iteration of the while loop until the loop breaks. Then, there is a final printf statement outside of the while loop. When we above c program, our output will be as follows –

Output:-
