The break and continue Statement with For Loop

The break Statement

With the break statement we can stop the loop before it has looped through all the items:

Example

Exit the loop when x is "two":

name = ["one", "two", "three"]
for x in name:
  print(x)
  if x == "two":
    break

The continue Statement

With the continue statement we can stop the current iteration of the loop, and continue with the next:

Example

Do not print two:

name = ["one", "two", "three"]
for x in name:
  if x == "two":
    continue
  print(x)
