Sure. (You could have tried it yourself.)
break;
The break statement is used to exit a loop or switch-case.
They do the same thing, but only the former can be used in a Java program.
break - The break statement is used to jump out of loop. After the break statement control passes to the immediate statement after the loop.continue - Using continue we can go to the next iteration in loop.exit - it is used to exit the execution of program.note: break and continue are statements, exit is function.
The break statement is used to exit the nearest enclosing scope. Control passes to the first statement that comes after that enclosing scope.
If you meant 'what can be used' then it is statement break.
The Break statement should generally get executed in some loop or switch statement. The below code will give compiler error. void main() { printf("12"); break; printf("14"); }
using break; statement
Ends the case statement. Without it, any code after where the break; is supposed to be will get executed as well until it does encounter a break; or the end of the switch.Code Example:char cTest = 'a';switch(cTest) {case 'a':/* Code here gets executed. */case 'b': //* Code here gets executed. */case 'c':/* Code here gets executed. */break;case 'd':/* Code here won't be executed. */default:/* Code here won't be executed. */}
The break statement exits control of the innermost for, while or do-while loop, or switch statement.
Break is used to exit the closest loop. Continue will cause the program to go to the beginning of the loop. for(int x=0;x<10;x++) { //continue; for(int y=0;y<10;y++) { break; } } The break statement causes the inner loop to stop at the first iteration. If the continue statement was uncommented, the inner loop would never be executed because the program would jump back to the beginning(until x = 10 of course).
switch (expression) { case value 1 : [ statement-block 1] [break ;] case value 2 : [ statement-block 2] [break ;] ……. ……. case value N : [ statement-block N] [break ;] [default: [default block] [break;] ] } statement x;
