Jump Statements

Jump statements are used to interrupt the normal flow of program.

Here we will discuss following Jump Statements

• break
• continue

Break Statement

The break statement is used inside loop or switch statement. When compiler finds the break statement inside a loop, compiler will abort the loop and continue to execute statements followed by loop.

Example:

var a = 1;  

while(a <= 10)  
{  
    if(a==5)  
        break;  
    a++;  
}  
console.log("Value of a is " + a);  
// Value of a is 5

Continue Statement

The continue statement is also used inside loop. When compiler finds the continue statement inside a loop, compiler will skip all the followling statements in the loop and resume the loop.

Example:

var a = 0;  
while(a < 10)  
{  
    a++;  
    if(a == 5)  
        continue;  

    console.log(a + " ");  
}  
// prints 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 

Try the following example in the editor below.

You are given an integer N, print all the odd values, for all i, where 0 <= i < N. Print each values on a seperate line.
Note: Use continue to avoid even numbers and break to get out of the loop.

Sample Input:

6

Sample Output:

1
