Break, Continue and Pass

These are special statements that alter loop behavior:

  • break – Exits the loop completely.
  • continue – Skips the current iteration and moves to the next.
  • pass – Does nothing (used as a placeholder).

Examples

for i in range(5):
  if i == 3:
    break
  print(i)  # Prints 0, 1, 2
for i in range(5):
  if i == 2:
    continue
  print(i)  # Skips 2
for i in range(5):
  if i == 4:
    pass  # Placeholder
  print(i)
