Break; is used to 'break' out of a code block like loop. Essentially, it will stop executing the following code in the block and move on For instance if you had a for loop, for(int i = 0; i <= 5; ++i) { if(i == 3){ break; } System.out.println(i); } This loop would only output 1 and 2 as once 3 is hit the loop is broken out of.

When the break statement is encountered inside a loop, the loop is immediately terminated and the program control resumes at the next statement following the loop.

The break statement in Java programming language has the following two usages − When the break statement is encountered inside a loop, the loop is immediately terminated and the program control resumes at the next statement following the loop. It can be used to terminate a case in the switch statement (covered in the next chapter).
