break statement is used to break or stop the flow of execution in a program.

break can be only used in looping and switch statements.

break;


Example

Imagine you are a gymnast. You are taking 100 push-ups. You are stuck in-between because all your energy got lost i.e tired, so you are coming out from pushups.

What you will do to solve the above using programming ?

public class BreakTest {

public static void main(String args[]) {

int energy_lost=0,energy_you_have=25,pushups_to_do=100;

int energy_per_pushup=5;

int pushups_taken=0;

for(int i=1;i<=pushups_to_do;i++){

energy_lost=energy_lost+energy_per_pushup;

pushups_taken++;

if(energy_lost>=energy_you_have)

break;

}

System.out.println("Push-ups taken is "+pushups_taken);

}

}

Try In Editor

Output

Push-ups taken is 5
