Python Break

The document explains the Python break statement, which is used to exit loops prematurely. It provides examples of using break in for loops, while loops, and nested loops, demonstrating how it terminates the current loop's execution based on specified conditions. The document also includes syntax and output for each example to illustrate the functionality of the break statement.

Python break statement


The break is a keyword in python which is used to bring the program control out of
the loop. The break statement breaks the loops one by one, i.e., in the case of nested
loops, it breaks the inner loop first and then proceeds to outer loops. In other words,
we can say that break is used to abort the current execution of the program and the
control goes to the next line after the loop.

The break is commonly used in the cases where we need to break the loop for a given
condition. The syntax of the break statement in Python is given below.

Syntax:

#loop statements
break;

Example 1 : break statement with for loop


Code

# break statement example


my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
count = 1
for item in my_list:
if item == 4:
print("Item matched")
count += 1
break
print("Found at location", count)

Output:
Item matched
Found at location 2

In the above example, a list is iterated using a for loop. When the item is matched with
value 4, the break statement is executed, and the loop terminates. Then the count is
printed by locating the item.

Example 2 : Breaking out of a loop early


Code

# break statement example


my_str = "python"
for char in my_str:
if char == 'o':
break
print(char)

Output:

p
y
t
h

When the character is found in the list of characters, break starts executing, and
iterating stops immediately. Then the next line of the print statement is printed.

Example 3: break statement with while loop


Code

# break statement example


i = 0;
while 1:
print(i," ",end=""),
i=i+1;
if i == 10:
break;
print("came out of while loop");

Output:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 came out of while loop

It is the same as the above programs. The while loop is initialised to True, which is an
infinite loop. When the value is 10 and the condition becomes true, the break
statement will be executed and jump to the later print statement by terminating the
while loop.

Example 4 : break statement with nested loops


Code

# break statement example


n=2
while True:
i=1
while i <= 10:
print("%d X %d = %d\n" % (n, i, n * i))
i += 1
choice = int(input("Do you want to continue printing the table? Press 0 for no: "))
if choice == 0:
print("Exiting the program...")
break
n += 1
print("Program finished successfully.")

Output:
2 X 1 = 2
2 X 2 = 4
2 X 3 = 6
2 X 4 = 8
2 X 5 = 10
2 X 6 = 12
2 X 7 = 14
2 X 8 = 16
2 X 9 = 18
2 X 10 = 20
Do you want to continue printing the table? Press 0 for no: 1
3 X 1 = 3
3 X 2 = 6
3 X 3 = 9
3 X 4 = 12
3 X 5 = 15
3 X 6 = 18
3 X 7 = 21
3 X 8 = 24
3 X 9 = 27
3 X 10 = 30
Do you want to continue printing the table? Press 0 for no: 0
Exiting the program...
Program finished successfully.

There are two nested loops in the above program. Inner loop and outer loop The inner
loop is responsible for printing the multiplication table, whereas the outer loop is
responsible for incrementing the n value. When the inner loop completes execution,
the user will have to continue printing. When 0 is entered, the break statement finally
executes, and the nested loop is terminated.
