9. Jumps Statement in c++

➢ Jumps in Loops:-

➢ C++ break and continue Statement:-

                There are two statements (break; and continue ;) built in C++ programming to alter the normal flow of program.

                Loops are used to perform repetitive task until test expression is false but sometimes it is desirable to skip some statement/s inside loop or terminate the loop immediately with checking test condition. On these type of scenarios, continue; statement and break; statement is used respectively. The break; statement is also used to terminate switch statement.

1) break Statement :-

                 The break; statement terminates the loop(for, while and do..while loop) and switch statement immediately when it appears .

Syntax of break :-

break;

                In real practice, break statement is almost always used inside the body of conditional statement(if...else) inside the loop.

2) continue Statement :-

                 It is sometimes necessary to skip some statement/s inside the loop. In that case, continue; statement is used in C++ programming.

Syntax of continue :-

 

continue;

                In practice, continue; statement is almost always used inside conditional statement.

Example Program:-

// C++ Program to demonstrate working of continue statement

// C++ program to display integer from 1 to 10 except 6 and 9.

#include <iostream.h>

#include <conio.h>

int main()

{

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

             {

                         if ( i == 6 || i == 9)

                         {

                                     continue;

                         }

                         cout<<i<<"\t";

             }

             getch();

}

Output :-

1 2 3 4 5 7 8 10
