Python Break and Continue

What is the purpose of the 'break' statement in Python?

• To pause the loop and resume it after a certain condition is met

• To terminate the loop and transfer the execution to the statement immediately following the loop.

• To skip the current iteration and continue with the next iteration of the loop

• To execute a specific block of code when a certain condition is met

Provide an example of using the 'break' statement in a for loop.

• for i in range(1, 11): if i > 5: break print(i)

• for i in range(1, 11): if i == 5: break print(i)

• for i in range(1, 11): if i == 3: break print(i)

• for i in range(1, 11): if i != 5: break print(i)

Explain the use of the 'continue' statement in Python.

• It is used to end the entire loop in Python.

• It is used to execute the code after the loop in Python.

• It is used to print the current iteration of a loop in Python.

• It is used to skip the current iteration of a loop in Python.

Give an example of using the 'continue' statement in a while loop.

• while loop: x = 0 while x < 5: x += 1 if x == 3: continue print(x)

• while loop: x = 0 while x < 5: x += 1 if x == 3: break print(x)

• for loop: for i in range(5): if i == 3: continue print(i)

• while loop: x = 0 while x < 5: x += 1 if x == 3: pass print(x)

How does the 'break' statement differ from the 'continue' statement?

• The 'break' statement is used to skip the current iteration and move to the next one.

• The 'break' statement is used to execute the loop only once.

• The 'break' statement is used to pause the loop and resume from the next iteration.

• The 'break' statement is used to exit the loop completely.

In what situations would you use the 'break' statement in Python?

• To execute a specific block of code

• To exit a loop prematurely when a certain condition is met.

• To continue the loop when a certain condition is met

• To print a message to the console

Discuss a scenario where the 'continue' statement would be useful in a Python program.

• To print a message to the console

• To create an infinite loop

• To exit the program completely

• In a scenario where you want to skip certain iterations of a loop based on a condition and continue with the next iteration, the 'continue' statement would be useful in a Python program.

What happens when a 'break' statement is encountered within a nested loop?

• It will only terminate the outermost loop

• It will cause an error and stop the program

• It will terminate all the loops

• It will only terminate the innermost loop

Can the 'continue' statement be used in a nested loop? Explain with an example.

• Only in for loops

• Yes

• Only in while loops

• No

Compare and contrast the 'break' and 'continue' statements in Python.

• The 'break' statement is used to continue to the next iteration, while the 'continue' statement is used to exit a loop.

• The 'break' statement is used to skip the current iteration and continue to the next one, while the 'continue' statement is used to exit a loop.

• The 'break' statement is used to exit a loop, while the 'continue' statement is used to skip the current iteration and continue to the next one.

• The 'break' statement is used to repeat the current iteration, while the 'continue' statement is used to exit a loop.
