از این دستور برای متوقف کردن اجرای حلقه استفاده میشه.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
char Letter = 'd';
while( Letter <= 'n' )
{
cout << "Letter " << Letter << endl;
if( Letter == 'k' )
break;
Letter++;
}
return 0;
}
The break statement can be used in a do�while loop in the same way.
In a for statement, the break can stop the counting when a particular condition becomes true.
For example, the following program is supposed to count from 0 to 12,
but the programmer wants it to stop as soon as it detects the number 5:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
for(int Count = 0; Count <= 12; ++Count)
{
cout << "Count " << Count << endl;
if( Count == 5 )
break;
}
return 0;
}
The break statement is typically used to handle the cases in a switch statement where you usually may want the program to ignore invalid cases.
Consider a program used to request a number from 1 to 3, a better version that involves a break in each case would allow the switch to stop once the right case is found. Here is a working version of that program:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int Number;
cout << "Type a number between 1 and 3: ";
cin >> Number;
switch (Number)
{
case 1:
cout << "\nYou typed 1.";
break;
case 2:
cout << "\nYou typed 2.";
break;
case 3:
cout << "\nYou typed 3.";
break;
default:
cout << endl << Number << " is out of the requested range.";
}
return 0;
}
