Explain the Break Statement - Computer Programming?
The break statement is used as an interrupt to the normal flow of control this statement causes as exit from the switch statement. It can be used within a while, for, do - while or switch statement and the break statement causes the control to come out of the entire loop. A break within a loop must always be protected within an if statement which provides the test to control the exit condition.
char ch;
ch=getchar();
switch(ch)
{
case 'a' :
case 'e' :
case 'i' :
case 'o' :
case 'u' :{
printf("Vowel");
break;
}
default :{
printf("Not a vowel");
break;
}
}
If the input take place to be 'a' or 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' , the control goes to that particular case and prints "Vowel". By executing the break statement can't will come out of the loop.
