Is it possible to use break statement under if where if is a part of for loop?

Question

I used break with if. It shows error, and with the condition as given in the question, it works.

Answer 1

Oh, I think I see your problem. In order to use a break, it HAS to be within a loop of some kind. If you use an if statement that isn't within a loop (while, for, do while) then it will give you an error, because there is nothing to "break" out of.
If you have something like this:

int main() {
int foo = 8;
if (foo == 8)
break;//error. break is not within a loop

return 0;
}

Answer 2

absolutely.

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
int count = i *2;
if (count == 8)
break;
}//this will break out of the for loop when i is equal to 4

is this what you're talking about? If not, post your code.

Answer 3

Yes but how?

Answer 4

I gave you the code; that is how you can do it. Post your code, maybe there is some other issue you don't realize is happening.

Answer 5

my code is similar to this one. I want to know how come breaks only works for If under for loop and not for if alone.

Answer 6

oh got it. Thanks 😊
