C4learn - Java Break Statement

Break statements in Java are used to exit a loop or switch statement. There are different ways to use a break statement including: (1) In a for loop, a break statement will exit the loop and continue execution at the statement after the loop; (2) In a while loop, a break statement will similarly exit the loop; (3) A break statement in a do-while loop exits the loop; (4) A break statement can also be used to exit a switch statement and continue execution at the statement after the switch. The break statement skips any remaining statements in the loop/switch and transfers control to the statement following the loop.

. when it encountersbreak statement it will break
loop and take control outside the loop.
