Transfer statements are used to change the normal flow of program execution.

Python provides three transfer statements:

• break
• continue
• pass

The break statement is used to stop the loop immediately.

When Python executes the break statement, the loop terminates and control moves to the first statement after the loop.

The loop starts from 0.

When i becomes 7, the break statement is executed.

The loop stops immediately.

The break statement is commonly used in:

• Search operations
• Menu-driven programs
• Password verification
• Infinite loops that need an exit condition

break	continue
Terminates the loop.	Skips only the current iteration.
Control comes outside the loop.	Control moves to the next iteration.
Remaining iterations are not executed.	Remaining iterations continue normally.
