C# Simplified, part 2: Methods & Programming Constructs - break Statement

(Page 6 of 6 )

This statement is used to terminate a loop abruptly. You have already seen the usage of this statement while discussing the switch-case construct. If the condition is true and the compiler finds a break statement, then the program will stop at that point. In listing 2.14, a loop is created to print numbers from 1 to 10. But since I have specified the break statement inside an if clause, the program will terminate after printing the numbers from 1 to 5. 

Listing 2.14

using System;

class Breaks

{

public static void Main()

{

for(int I = 1; I<=10; I++)

{

Console.WriteLine(I);

if(I==5)

{

break;

}

}

}

}

Summary

In this part of the series, you have seen the working of different types of methods with the help of relevant source codes. The article also discussed the various programming constructs, including the different lopping statements such as for, while, do-while, and so forth. In the next article, you will learn about the different escape characters and other important topics, such as arrays.
