The break statement has the following two usages :

- When a break statement is encountered inside a loop, the loop is immediately terminated and the program control resumes at the next statement following the loop.

- It can be used to terminate a case in the switch statement

Example:

void main()

{

    int expr = 10;

    while (expr)

    {

      printf("%d",expr);

      expr--;

      if(expr == 5)

       break;

    }

}
