'break' will break out of your current loop such as for and while loop. Then execute statement after that loop.
Eg.
for i in [1,2,3,4]:
print(i)
if i == 2:
break
print('End of loop')
output >>
1
End of loop
In my 'python' code, for loop itetate list given. When i equal 2 then it will break out of current loop (i.e for loop) and execute print function.
'continue' is opposite. It goes back to loop when use. So, if i use continue instead of break in above code, output will be:
1
2
3
4
End of loop
That's it!
Although programming syntax may be different, fundamental knowledge are the same.
Hope it helps :)

break stops loop. Continue skips loop on given condition. Here, when i got to 2, it continued loop, skipped that part. When i got to 13, break stopped the loop. Hope I helped you

break stops the loop and exits from it, while continue skips the current condition and continues the loop for the next conditions
