break: exits the loop (in switch statement doesn't execute the following cases) continue: continues with the next iteration of the loop

Break is a jump statement, it allows the compiler to skip the code whenever we want. And continue statement is simply use to continue the Code again.

break; it exit it from the looping process. continue; it takes to the next begining of the statement.
