The break statement is used to terminate the loop when a certain condition is met. We already learned in previous tutorials (for loop and while loop) that a loop is used to iterate a set of statements repeatedly as long as the loop condition returns true. The break statement is generally used inside a loop along with a if statement so that when a particular condition (defined in if statement) returns true, the break statement is encountered and the loop terminates.
For example, lets say we are searching an element in a list, so for that we are running a loop starting from the first element of the list to the last element of the list. Using break statement, we can terminate the loop as soon as the element is found because why run the loop unnecessary till the end of list when our element is found. We can achieve this with the help of break statement (we will see this example programmatically in the example section below).
Syntax of break statement in Python
The syntax of break statement in Python is similar to what we have seen in Java.
