If statement question in c++

Question

can we write break in if statement like this?

if(x>2){
break;
}

if yes, pls explain why it can, thx for answering this

Answer 1

@gurprit...I know...this code is for logic and for understanding...

Answer 2

yup..this 2 statements are only for loops(do while,while,for)..i checked..and got error with if else ladder...Thanks gurpreet

Answer 3

i=0
if(i<2)
{
printf("%d ",i)
i++
continue;
}
else
{
printf("no")
break;
}

output : 0 1
note that if i take i= 5 than output will be "no"...
perhaps this will help all

Answer 4

by using break statement..you can break your loop and jump outside it...
but by using continue..you can go to the loop condition again..

Answer 5

@Prahar pandya thx for your answer ☺☺, but u miss your int in first line

Answer 6

yes you can write like that but only when you are inside a loop...
e.g-
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{ if(i>2)
break;
else
//something else
}

Answer 7

Break can be written but it is used to break out of a nearest enclosed loop. So if the if statement is inside a loop then break is used to break out of that loop. Otherwise break would produce an error if used like you have used without any loop present.

Answer 8

this if statement should be inside a loop to use break statement.
break and continue are for manipulating loop iterations

Answer 9

@Gurpreet Singh means I can use break in if statement if the if statement are in a loop, and the break is use for the loop terminate like this?

for(;;){
if(x>2){
break;
}
}

Answer 13

@Prahar pandya can u help explain how the continue keyword works with more details? I don't know this very well 😫😫

Answer 14

break ends the loop.
continue skips the remaining statements only for that iteration

this will give error.

Answer 17

@Gurpreet Singh what's cause an error on his code? is it only miss a int? or other place? I don't know c so much 😅😅

Answer 18

@Prahar pandya thx anyway 😊😊

Answer 19

@Prahar pandya, just execute it and you will ger it or run my code.
Bottom line: you cant use break and continue without loop.
