Keyword used is "break".Keyword used is "continue".
Breaks loop and allows coming out from it.Allows iterating in the loop.
Control is transferred outside the loop.Control remains in the same loop.

  2. { 
  3. if(i==3) 
  4. break; 
  5. Printf("%d\\n",i); 
  6. } 

Output:  1, 2

E.g.

  3. if(i==3)  
  4. continue; 
  5. printf("%d\\n",i); 
  6. } 

Output: 1, 2, 4, 5

Program to display given output

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

#define n 5

int main()

{

    int i, j;

    for(i=1;i<=n;i++)

    {

        for(j=1;j<=1;j++)

        {

            printf("\\t1");

        }

        printf("\\n");
