Question

True or False?

Answer 1

False.

The different between break and continue instruction is that with break you exit the loop, and with continue you skip to the next iteration.

So, for example, a loop like

for(i = 1; i <= 10; i++){

   if(i <= 5){

       print(i);

   } else {

       break;

   }

}

will print 1,2,3,4,5, because when i=6 you will enter the else branch and you will exit the loop because of the break instruction.

On the other hand, a loop like

for(i = 1; i <= 10; i++){

   if(i % 2 == 0){

       print(i);

   } else {

       continue;

   }

}

Will print 2,4,6,8,10, because if i is even you print it, and if i is odd you will simply skip to the next iteration.
