There are two keywords that allow for more flexible work with loops: `break` and `continue`. They are control flow statements used within the loops to **alter** their behavior.



## Continue

When the `continue` keyword is encountered within a loop, it immediately transfers control to the next iteration of the loop, skipping the remaining statements within the current iteration. In other words, it allows you to **skip the current iteration** of the loop and proceed with the next iteration.

## Break
When the `break` keyword is encountered within a loop, it immediately transfers control out of the loop, effectively ending the loop prematurely. In other words, it allows you to **exit the loop** before it would normally complete all its iterations, **skipping any remaining iterations** and the statements within them.
