1) break statement

It is used to break the loop’s execution; it transfers the execution next statement after the loop.

Example of break statement

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <script>
       for(var i=1;i<=10;i++){
           if(i==7){
               break;
           }
           document.write(i+"<br />");
       }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    
</body>
</html>

2) continue statement

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <script>
       for(var i=1;i<=10;i++){
           if(i==7){
               continue;
