continue and break statement

continue :
          Continue statement is used to skip the execution of code in loop . Continue statement is used only inside the loop control(while,do-while,for) in java . continue is a keyword in java.

break :
       break statement is used to terminate the execution of code. break is a keyword in java.

Let's see an example of continue and break statement.

Without continue and break statement (Fig-1):

public class ContinueBreakExample
{

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
       System.out.println(i);
    }
  }
}

Output :
              0
              1
              2

With continue statement (Fig-2):

 public class ContinueBreakExample
{

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
       if(i==1)
       {
         continue;
       }
      System.out.println(i);
    }
  }
}

Output :
              0
          
              2

With break statement (Fig-3) :

public class ContinueBreakExample
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
       if(i==1)
       {
         break;
       }
      System.out.println(i);
    }
  }
}

Output :
              0

In the above three example i have used same class with some little change . In Fig-1 example , for loop prints all value because there are no continue or break statement has been used . In Fig-2 example, i have been used continue statement . so first print "0" and then "1" is skip and control goes to next part that means print "2"  . But last one (Fig-3) only "0" prints because of break statement . In break statement , control does not go to next part it terminates the execution.
