JUMP STATEMENTS

Jump statements are used to throw the execution control from one block to another block and these are often used with the control statements (if else, loop, so on)

In C language, there are three jump statements.  

1. Break

2. Continue
3. Goto statement

THE BREAK JUMP STATEMENT

The break statement is used to exit from a loop from a specific point.

PROGRAM FOR BREAK EXAMPLE

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

void main()

{

clrscr();

int i;

for(i=1; i<=10; i++)

{

printf(“\n %d”,i);

if(i == 5)

{

break;

}

}

getch();                      

}

PROGRAM EXPLANATION

The above program print only 1-5 counting even the loop terminate condition is 10, because when loop variable counter 5 the break jump statement exist from the loop.
