The break statement is used to break from an enclosing do, while, for, or switch statement.
It is a compile error to use break anywhere else.
'break' breaks the loop without executing the rest of the statements in the block.
For example, consider the following code
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 0;
while (true) {
System.out.println(i);
i++;
if (i > 3) {
break;
}
}
}
}
The result is
0
1
2
3
