The while Loop

While loop is used to execute a set of statements as long as the provided condition is true, as shown in below example that i will be printed as long as i is less than 5

i = 1
while i < 5:
  print(i)
  i += 1

output

1
2
3
4
5

The break Statement

The break statement is used to stop the loop even if the while condition is true as shown in below example when i equals to 3 it will exit the loop while the i <5 or logical condition provided in while loop is evaluating true

i = 1
while i < 5:
  print(i)
  if i == 3:
    break
  i += 1

output

1
2
3

The continue Statement

The continue statement is used to stop the current iteration and continue with the next iteration as shown below in the example-

i = 0
while i < 5:
  i += 1
  if i == 3:
    continue
  print(i)

output

1
2
4
5

Note that in the above result, value 3 is missing.
