break and continue

break and continue

Loop control apart from the condition

• break: terminates innermost enclosing loop or switch

  • Nesting: outer loop/switch not concerned

• continue: next loop iteration

  • Loop condition is checked

  • for: next-expression evaluated

for (i = 0; i < strlen(input); ++i) {
    if (!isprint(input[i]))
        /* do nothing for nonprintable chars */
        continue;
    error = do_something(input[i]);
    if (error)
        break;
}
