Example : Example Example for(i=1; i<=5; i++) i=1; i=1; { while(i <=5 ) do s = s + i; { { p = p * i; s = s + i; s = s + i; } p = p * i; p = p * i; i++; i++; } }while(i<=5);

  break Statement * Thebreak statement, when executed in a while, for, do/while, or switch structure, causes immediate exit for that structure. * Program execution continues with the first statement after the structure. * Common uses of the break statement are to escape early from a loop, or to skip the remainder of a switch structure
• 6.
  Continue Statement * Thecontinue statement, when executed in a while, for, or do/while structure, skips the remaining statements in the body of that structure, and proceeds with the next iteration of the loop. * In while and do/while structures, the loop- continuation test is evaluated immediately after the continue statement is executed. * In the for structure, the increment expression is executed, then the loop- continuation test is evaluated.
