Break	Continue
When break is encountered the switch or loop execution is immediately stopped.	When continue is encountered, the statements after it are skipped and the loop control jump to next iteration.
break statement is used in switch and loops.	continue statement is used in loops only.

Break: Example:

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<5;++i)
   {
         if(i==3)
         break;
         printf(“%d “,i);
     }

}

Output:
0 1 2

Continue Example:

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<5;++i)
    {
          if(i==3)
          continue;
          printf(“%d “,i);
      }

}

Output:
0 1 2 4
