Break statement, as the name suggests, is used to stop the code execution at a specified position in the program.

Let us check this out with the help of an example. Let us create a Console Application in Visual Studio. Write the following code in the application.

  1. using System;
  2. usingSystem.Collections.Generic;
  3. usingSystem.Linq;
  4. usingSystem.Text;
  5. usingSystem.Threading.Tasks;
  6. namespaceBreakStatement
  7. {
  8. class Program
  9. {
  10. static void Main(string[] args)
  11. {
  12. for (inti = 0; i < 6; i++)
  13. {
  14. Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());
  15. if (i == 4)
  16. break;
  17. }
  18. Console.WriteLine("The execution has stopped!!");
  19. Console.ReadLine();
  20. }
  21. }
  22. }
Let us check the output of the program.



Well as we can see "5" is not included in the output because we specified the break statement in the code.
