break Statement in C

When we have to leave the loop immediately in the C program then break helps to achieve this target. When the break statement is encountered then it immediately leaves the loop and continues with the rest of the statements. When the break statement encountered with a switch case statement then it blocks the remaining cases and comes out from the switch statement.

In the upcoming tutorial, I shared the difference between break and continue statements. we also use break statement with a while loop, for loop, and switch case statement.
