Question

Which of the following statements about the break statement is false? Group of answer choices Common uses of the break statement are to escape early from a loop or to skip the remainder of a switch. The break statement is used to exit an iteration structure early and continue execution after the loop. A break statement can only break out of an immediately enclosing while, for, do…while or switch statement. The break statement, when executed in a while, for or do…while, skips the remaining statements in the loop body and proceeds with the next iteration of the loop.

Answer 1

" The break statement, when executed in a while, for or do…while, skips the remaining statements in the loop body and proceeds with the next iteration of the loop. " This statement is false.

Explanation:

• The break statement is used to come out of a loop such as for, while, do-while loop.

• The break statement is also used to come out of a switch statement.

• When the break statement is encountered then the control returns outside the current loop or switch statement and proceeds executing the rest of the statements of the remaining program.

• The break statement is used to come out of the current iteration early and continue execution of the remainder program after the loop.

• The break statement does not exit the current iteration and start the next iteration of the loop. It directly comes out of the entire loop.
• When a break statement is encountered in a switch statement, then the control is given outside the current case and handed over to the remainder of the program after the switch statement.
