Cave of Python

The break and continue keywords, or similar, are found in most programming languages.

Break Example

Note that you can use while True to create an “infinite loop”. You can then use break to stop the loop at the desired point.

value = 0

while True:
    value += 1

    if value > 3:
        break

    print("Hello", value)

print("Program finished")

Hello 1
Hello 2
Hello 3
Program finished

Continue Example

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

    print("Loop counter:", i)

print("Program finished")

Loop counter: 0
Loop counter: 1
Loop counter: 2
Loop counter: 4
Program finished
