Kotlin Break and Continue

Kotlin Tutorial

The break statement terminates the nearest enclosing loop.

Example:

				
					var number = 0

while (number < 5) {
   println(number)
   number ++
   if (number == 2) {
       break
   }
}

The code above outputs

0
1

In the example above the loop terminates when the number becomes equal to 2.

The continue statement breaks the loop in the middle and ignores the value specified in condition; and continues with the next iteration in the loop.

Example

				
					var number = 0

while (number < 5) {
   if (number == 2) {
       number++
       continue
   }
   println(number)
   number++

}

The code above outputs:

In the example above, 2 is skipped and the other numbers are printed in the output.
