Java Break vs Continue: Key Differences

In Java, both break and continue are control flow statements used to control the execution flow of loops or conditional statements, but they serve different purposes.

1. – fracture
2. change
3. change
4. fracture
5. change or swap

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    if (i == 5) {
        break;
    }
    System.out.println(i);
}

In the above example, when i is equal to 5, the ‘break’ statement will terminate the loop execution and no longer output the subsequent numbers.

1. Keep going.
2. keep going

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    if (i % 2 == 0) {
        continue;
    }
    System.out.println(i);
}

In the example above, when i is an even number, the continue statement will skip the execution of System.out.println(i); and go directly to the next iteration.
