break / continue

Prerequisites: for loops, while loops

break exits a loop immediately. continue skips the rest of the current iteration and moves to the next one.

for number in range(10):
    if number == 5:
        break        # stop the loop entirely
    if number % 2 == 0:
        continue     # skip even numbers, keep looping
    print(number)

Expected output
