Break,Continue and Pass Statement in Python

Break, Continue and Pass Statement in Python

1) Break Statement

The break statement is used to manually terminate the loop when a condition is matched.

for i in range(1, 10):
    if i == 3:
        break
    print(i)

Output:

1
2

2) Continue Statement

    if i == 3:
        continue
    print(i)

Output:

1
2

Important Questions on Break and Continue

Case 1

for i in range(1, 10):
    if i == 3 and i == 5:
        continue
    print(i)
print("hello")

Case 2

for i in range(1, 10):
    if i == 3 and i == 5:
        break
    print(i)
print("hello")

Case 3

for i in range(1, 10):
    if i == 3 or i == 5:
        continue
    print(i)
print("hello")

3) Pass Statement

The pass statement is used to define an empty block when no code is required. Python does not use braces, so pass helps create placeholder blocks.

C language example (empty block):

for(i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
}

Python empty loop using pass:

for i in range(1, 10):
    pass

Assignment of Loop

WAP to display the salary of employees where:

• Employee IDs start from 1001 to 1020
• Salary of EmpID 1003, 1005, 1007 should NOT be displayed
• EmpID 1013 and 1015 → Deduct 2 days salary
• If salary entered is ABOVE 20000, calculation will be done only till 1017
• Salary is common for all employees

(You can ask me to generate the full Python program also.)
