Submitted by Pankaj Singh, on October 06, 2018

break is a keyword in python just like another programming language and it is used to break the execution of loop statement.

In the given example, loop is running from 1 to 10 and we are using the break statement if the value of i is 6. Thus when the value of i will be 6, program's execution will come out from the loop.

Example 1:

for i in range(1,11):
    if(i==6):
        break
    print(i)

Output

1
2
3
4
5

Example 2: In this example, we are printing character by character of the value/string “Hello world” and terminating (using break), if the character is space.

for ch in "Hello world":
    if ch == " ":
        break
    print(ch)

Output

H
e
l
l
o
