Break Statement

The break keyword can be used to prematurely exit a loop, even if it has not reached its stop condition.

Here's an example of how break can be used inside a loop:

index.go

index.go

copy
package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
for i := 1; i <= 5; i++ {
fmt.Println(i)
if i == 3 {
break
}
}
fmt.Println("Loop ended")
}

package main import "fmt" func main() { for i := 1; i <= 5; i++ { fmt.Println(i) if i == 3 { break } } fmt.Println("Loop ended") }

The provided code terminates the loop when i==3 instead of i==5. Any code after the break statement within the loop is automatically ignored since the loop breaks at that specific point.

The break keyword, also referred to as the break statement, can be a valuable tool for controlling the loop's flow. It enables you to impose additional conditions within the loop.

func main() {
for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {

}
}
