Python: Break, Continue & Pass

The break, continue, and pass keywords are used to control the flow of a program, especially within loops and conditional statements.

break:

• break is used to exit a loop prematurely when a certain condition is met.
• It is commonly used in for and while loops to terminate the loop before it completes all iterations.

for i in range(1, 6):
  if i == 3:         
    break  # This will exit the loop when i is 3     
print(i)

#output = 1 2

continue:

• continue is used to skip the current iteration of a loop and proceed to the next one.
• It is typically used when you want to skip specific iterations based on a condition.

for i in range(1, 6):     
  if i == 3:         
    continue  # This will skip iteration when i is 3     
print(i)

#output 1 2 4 5 

pass:

• pass is a null operation statement in Python, used as a placeholder when syntactically some code is required but you don't want it to do anything.
• It is often used when defining classes, functions, or conditional statements that you plan to implement later.

for i in range(1, 6):     
   if i == 3:         
     pass  # This doesn't do anything when i is 3     
  else:         
     print(i)

# output: 1 2 4 5 

These keywords are valuable for controlling the flow of our code and handling different situations within loops and conditional blocks.
