Python Break statement

In Python, you can use the break statement to exit a loop prematurely when a specific condition is met. It is commonly used in while or for loops. Here’s how you can use break conditions in different scenarios:

1. Using break in a while loop:

i = 0
while True:
    print(i)
    i += 1
    if i == 5:  # Break condition
        break

Explanation: This loop runs indefinitely (while True) but breaks when i reaches 5.

2. Using break in a for loop:

for i in range(5):
    if i == 3:  # Break condition
        break
    print(i)

Explanation: This loop iterates through numbers from 0 to 4 but stops (breaks) when i equals 3.

3. Using break with an if condition:

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
for num in numbers:
    if num > 5:  # Break condition
        break
    print(num)

Explanation: The loop prints numbers until it encounters a number greater than 5, then exits the loop.
