C# break Statement
In C#, the break
statement is used to immediately exit a loop, such as a for
, while
, or do...while
loop. When the break
statement is encountered, the program exits the loop and continues executing the code that follows the loop.
Here is an example that uses the break
statement in a for
loop:
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { if (i == 5) { break; } Console.WriteLine(i); }
In this example, the for
loop iterates over the values of i
from 1 to 10. However, when i
is equal to 5, the break
statement is executed, which immediately exits the loop. As a result, only the values of i
from 1 to 4 are printed to the console.
Note that the break
statement can also be used in a switch
statement to exit the switch
block. In addition, the break
statement can be used inside nested loops to exit the innermost loop.
