Output of break in nested loops
What is the output of this Python code?
for i in range(3):
    for j in range(3):
        if j == 1:
            break
        print(i, j)
Python
for i in range(3):
    for j in range(3):
        if j == 1:
            break
        print(i, j)

Break inside while loop with else
What is the output of this code?
i = 0
while i < 5:
    if i == 3:
        break
    print(i)
    i += 1
else:
    print('Done')
Python
i = 0
while i < 5:
    if i == 3:

Break with continue in loop
What will this code print?
for n in range(5):
    if n == 2:
        break
    if n == 1:
        continue
    print(n)
Python
for n in range(5):
    if n == 2:
        break
    if n == 1:
        continue
    print(n)

Break statement effect on loop else clause
Consider this code snippet:
for i in range(4):
    if i == 5:
        break
else:
    print('Loop ended normally')

What will be printed when this code runs?
ALoop ended normally
BNo output
CSyntaxError
DRuntimeError

💡 Hint
The break condition is never true, so loop completes normally.
