Core Java Programming Course- Loop "Break" and "Continue" Statements

This video tutorial explains the concepts of 'break' and 'continue' statements in loops. It uses a while loop example to demonstrate how 'break' exits a loop when a condition is met, and how 'continue' skips to the next iteration, ignoring the remaining code in the loop. The tutorial highlights the differences between these two statements, which are common interview questions.

What is the primary function of a 'break' statement in a loop?

• To skip the current iteration and move to the next one

• To exit the loop entirely

• To pause the loop temporarily

• To repeat the current iteration

In the given example, what condition causes the loop to break?

• When the value of 'a' is greater than 80

• When the value of 'a' becomes 75

• When the value of 'a' is equal to 100

• When the value of 'a' is less than 50

What happens when a 'continue' statement is encountered in a loop?

• The loop exits immediately

• The loop pauses and waits for user input

• The loop skips the remaining code in the current iteration and moves to the next iteration

• The loop restarts from the beginning

How does the 'continue' statement affect the loop when the value of 'a' is 75 in the example?

• It exits the loop

• It prints the value 75 and continues

• It pauses the loop

• It skips printing 75 and moves to the next iteration

What is a key difference between 'break' and 'continue' statements?

• 'Break' repeats the current iteration, 'continue' exits the loop

• 'Break' pauses the loop, 'continue' restarts the loop

• 'Break' exits the loop, 'continue' skips the current iteration

• 'Break' skips the current iteration, 'continue' exits the loop
