Break and Continue Statements

Break and Continue Statements
break Statement
In C, the break statement is used to complete the implementation of the closes enclosing loop in which it appears. We have already seen its use in the switch statement. The break statement is mostly used with for, while, and do–while loops. When the compiler encounters a break statement, the control passes to the statement that follows the loop in which the break statement appears. Its syntax is 
quite simple, just type keyword break followed by a semi-colon.
break;
The example given below shows the manner in which break statement is used to terminate the loop in which it is embedded.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i = 0;
while(i<=10)
{
if (i==5)
 break;
 printf("\t %d", i);
 i = i + 1;
}
return 0;
}
Output
0 1 2 3 4
As soon as i becomes equal to 5, the break statement is executed and the control jumps to the statement following the while loop.
Hence, the break statement is used to exit a loop from any point within its body, bypassing its normal termination expression. 

continue Statement
Like the break statement, the continue statement can only appear in the body of a loop. When the compiler encounters a continue statement, then the rest of the statements in the loop are skipped and the control is unconditionally transferred to the loop-continuation portion of the nearest enclosing loop. Its syntax is quite simple, just type keyword continue followed by a semi-colon.
continue;
Again like the break statement, the continue statement cannot be used without an enclosing for, while, or do–while loop. When the continue statement is encountered in the while loop and in the 
do–while loop, the control is transferred to the code that tests the controlling expression. However, if placed within a for loop, the continue statement causes a branch to the code that updates the loop variable. For example, consider the following code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
for(i=0; i<= 10; i++)
{
if (i==5)
continue;
 printf("\t %d", i);
}
return 0;
}
Output
0 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10
Note that the code is meant to print numbers from 0 to 10. But as soon as i becomes equal to 5, the continue statement is encountered, so the printf() statement is skipped and the control 
passes to the expression that increments the value of i. 
Hence, we conclude that the continue statement is somewhat the opposite of the break statement. 
It forces the next iteration of the loop to take place, skipping any code in between itself and the test condition of the loop. It is generally used to restart a statement sequence when an error occurs.

Operations on data structures

OPERATIONS ON DATA STRUCTURES This section discusses the different operations that can be execute on the different data structures before mentioned. Traversing It means to process each data item exactly once so that it can be processed. For example, to print the names of all the employees in a office. Searching It is used to detect the location of one or more data items that satisfy the given constraint. Such a data item may or may not be present in the given group of data items. For example, to find the names of all the students who secured 100 marks in mathematics. Inserting It is used to add new data items to the given list of data items. For example, to add the details of a new student who has lately joined the course. Deleting It means to delete a particular data item from the given collection of data items. For example, to delete the name of a employee who has left the office. Sorting Data items can be ordered in some order like ascending order or descending order depending ...

The Rise of Green Buildings: A Sustainable Future

In an era where climate change and environmental sustainability dominate global conversations, the concept of green buildings has emerged as a pivotal solution. These structures, designed with both ecological and human health in mind, represent a shift towards more sustainable urban development. But what exactly are green buildings, and why are they so important? What Are Green Buildings? Green buildings, also known as sustainable buildings, are structures that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout their life cycle—from planning and design to construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This holistic approach seeks to minimize the negative impact of buildings on the environment and human health by efficiently using energy, water, and other resources. Key Features of Green Buildings Energy Efficiency: Green buildings often incorporate advanced systems and technologies to reduce energy consumption. This can include high-efficiency HVAC sys...
