break exits the entire loop. continue skips one iteration.
Think of it this way:
break= "I'm done with this loop completely"continue= "Skip this item, but keep looping"
# Find first even number
for num in numbers:
if num % 2 == 0:
print(f"Found even: {num}")
break # Stop searching
# Print only odd numbers
for num in numbers:
if num % 2 == 0:
continue # Skip evens
print(num) # Print odds
Both make loops more powerful. Use them when you need early exit or selective processing.
