Break Out of Loops With Python's break Keyword (Overview)

In Python, the break statement lets you exit a loop prematurely, transferring control to the code that follows the loop. This tutorial guides you through using break in both for and while loops. You’ll also briefly explore the continue keyword, which complements break by skipping the current loop iteration.

By the end of this video course, you’ll understand that:

• A break in Python is a keyword that lets you exit a loop immediately, stopping further iterations.
• Using break outside of loops doesn’t make sense because it’s specifically designed to exit loops early.
• The break doesn’t exit all loops, only the innermost loop that contains it.
