Break/Terminate a Python Loop
To beak/terminate a Python loop, use the break statement with a condition from where you want to terminate it.
Terminate a Python Loop - Examples
Consider the following examples to understand the concept of breaking a Python Loop.
Example 1
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.
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
To understand the above programs, you should have the basic knowledge of the following Python topics:
