break and continue statement

 break:

    break statement in java is used to jump out of a loop or switch statement.
Consider the following example:

        Example: 

        for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
                if(i==5){
                        break //at i=5, condition is true,hence it will take the control out of the loop
                }
                System.out.print(i + ", ");
        }
        System.out.println("Out of the loop");

        Output: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, Out of the loop

continue:
        if a particular condition is true, then continue will skip statements after it and take the control to the loop again.

        Example: Program to print even numbers from 1 to n

        int n = 10;
        for(int i=1; i<=10; i++) {
if(i%2!=0) {
continue; //takes control again to the loop
}
System.out.print(i + " ");
}

        Output: 2 4 6 8 10
