Python break Examples:
Example 1: In this example, we will demonstrate the break statement while printing a prime number less than 10.
for n in range(2, 10):
for x in range(2, n):
if n % x == 0:
print(n, 'equals', x, '*', n//x)
break
else:
print(n, 'is a prime number')
Output
2 is a prime number
3 is a prime number
4 equals 2 * 2
5 is a prime number
6 equals 2 * 3
7 is a prime number
8 equals 2 * 4
9 equals 3 * 3
Example 2: In this case, we will use the break statement with a list items.
#Initializing
l1=['Mumbai','Thane','Palghar','Ratnagiri']
for city in l1:
if city == 'Thane':
break
else:
print (city)
Output
Mumbai
Example 3: In this example, We will use break statement while printing the fibonacci series till the number 10.
#Initializing
fib=0
f1=0
f2=1
print(f1," ",f2)
fibo=0
# Using break statements
while True:
if fibo<10:
break
else:
fibo=f1+f2
print(fibo)
f1=f2
f2=fibo
Output
0 1
1
2
3
5
8
13
