Break and Continue Keyword In Java

Break Keyword

"Break" Key Word Is Used For Stop The Entire Loop. The Break Keyword Must Be Used Inside A Loop Or In A Switch Statement.The Break Keyword Will Stop The Execution Of The Innermost Loop & It Will Move Outside The Loop To Execute The Rest Of The Codes.   

Syntax Is Simply "break;" Inside The Loop.

Following Example Shows How To Use Break Keyword Inside A Loop.

class EasyCodeStuff {
   public static void main(String args[]){

      int [] MyNumbers = {5,3,8,2,6,1,11};

      for(int MyCount : MyNumbers){
         if(MyCount == 6){
            break;
         }
         System.out.print("My Count Is : ");
         System.out.println(MyCount); 
      }
   }
} 

OutPut

My Count Is : 5
My Count Is : 3
My Count Is : 8
My Count Is : 2  
  
In The Above Example Inside The For Loop We Have If Condition To Check "MyCount" Variable Value. If "MyCount" Variable Value Is 6, It Will Exit The Loop.



Continue Keyword

The "Continue" Keyword Can Be Used In Any Of The Loop Control Structures. It Causes The Loop To Immediately Jump To The Next Iteration Of The Loop.The Continue Statement Is Used To Jump To The Next Iteration Of A For Or While Loop, By Skipping The Rest Of The Code Lines In The Current Iteration.

The Different Between Continue and Break Statement Is If We Use Break Inside A For Loop It Will Exit From The For Loop.But If We Used A Continue Statement Inside For Loop It Will Go To The Update Statement Of The For Loop. 

If We Used  "continue;" Keyword Inside A While Loop Or Do While Loop It Move To The Boolean Expression Of The Loop.

Syntax Is Simply "continue;" Inside The Loop.
Following Example Shows How To Use Continue Keyword Inside A Loop.

class EasyCodeStuff {
   public static void main(String args[]){

      int [] MyNumbers = {5,3,8,2,6,1,11};

      for(int MyCount : MyNumbers){
         if(MyCount == 6){
            continue;
         }
         System.out.print("My Count Is : ");
         System.out.println(MyCount); 
      }
   }
} 

OutPut

My Count Is : 5
My Count Is : 3
My Count Is : 8
My Count Is : 2My Count Is : 1
My Count Is : 11

For Loop and Enhanced For Loop In Java

For Loop

For Loop Allows Code To Be Repeatedly Executed. A For Loop Is Classified As An Iteration Statement. A For Loop Can Be Use, When We Know How Many Times A Code Is To Be Repeated. For Loop Syntax Looks Like Below.

for(initialization; Boolean_expression; update)
{
   //Code We Want To Run Repeatedly 

}

Inside The Brackets Of The For Loop You Have To Define A Variable & Initialized It To A Value.Then Put A Semi Colon & Write The Boolean Condition To Run The For Loop. After That Put Another Semi Colon & Write The Update Statement For The For Condition Variable.

Following Example Shows How To Use While Loop In Java.

class EasyCodeStuff {
   public static void main(String args[]){

      for(int MyCount = 1; MyCount < 5; MyCount++){
         System.out.print("My Count Is : ");
         System.out.println(MyCount);
      }
   }
} 

OutPut

My Count Is : 1
My Count Is : 2
My Count Is : 3
My Count Is : 4 

Enhanced For Loop

Enhanced For Loops Also Like For Loop. Enhanced For Loops Mainly Used With Arrays. Enhanced For Loop Syntax Looks Like Below.

for(declaration : expression)
{
   //Code We Want To Run Repeatedly  

}

In Enhanced For Loops Declared Variable Type Must Be Compatible With The Array That We Are Going To Use In The Enhanced For Loop.For Example If We Have A Integer Array We Have To Use The Declaration Variable As Integer Too. In The Expression You Have To Give The Array. 
Following Example Shows How To Use While Loop In Java.

class EasyCodeStuff {
   public static void main(String args[]){

               int [] MyNumbers = {1,2,3,4,5};
      for(int MyCount : MyNumbers){
         System.out.print("My Count Is : ");
         System.out.println(MyCount); 
      }
   }
} 

OutPut

My Count Is : 1
My Count Is : 2
My Count Is : 3
My Count Is : 4  
My Count Is : 5
