There are two loop control statements in C,break and continue.These are unconditional control statements to alter the execution of the program.
break statement:
In C,break is used to exit from the loop and transfers program control to the next statement after the loop.Syntax and example are as follows
Syntax of break statement
break;
Example Program using break statement:
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int num=1;
while(1)
{
if(num<=10)
{
printf("%d\n",num);
num++;
}
else
{
break;
}
}
}
Output:

break should not be used in any statements other than loops,if used compiler will generates an error "Misplaced break"

Continue statement:
In C,continue is used to skip the current iteration of the loop and transfers program control to the next iteration i.e., to the condition of the loop.Syntax and example are as follows
Syntax of continue statement
continue;
Example Program using continue statement:
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int num=1;
while(num<=10)
{
if(num%2==1)
{
num++;
continue;
}
else
{
printf("%d\n",num);
num++;
}
}
}
output:

In above program continue statement is used to skip the odd numbers.
If we use continue with if-else statement then compiler will generates an error "Misplaced continue"
