Break Statement - C Language Tutorial [C Programs]

Description

Break statement terminates the current execution of loop(block) like while, do-while, for loop etc. and passes the execution control to the next statement after the loop.

Source code

//Using break statement
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int a;
while(1)
{
printf("\n\nEnter 1 to break the loop : ");
scanf("%d",&a);
if(a==1)
break;
else
printf("Didn't break the while loop");
}
printf("\nWhile loop terminated");
}

Program working steps

Comment, declaration of preprocessor directive and void main function at the start.
Variable int a is declared, while(1) statement is a repetative loop it will terminate only when break statement is executed.
Programs asks the user to enter 1 to break the loop, if user enters 1 it will break the while loop printing 'While loop terminated'. Else, if user enters any other integer value the loop will be repeated, printing 'Didn't break the while loop'.
