Break: Break keyword is used to transfer control of loop outside the loop. For example:- for(i=0;i<5;i++) { if(i==3) break; else printf("%d",i); } It will print number from 0 to 2 and when value of i will be 3 then loop terminates. Continue: continue keyword is used to skip one number for example:- for(i=0;i<5;i++) { if(i==3) continue; else printf("%d",i); } It will print number from 0 to 5 except 3.

Break stops a for loop, continue goes to the next iteration in a for loop,

in ruby, continue doesnt exist, but next does and it does the exact same thing as continue 😁
