C#: What is the difference between “continue” and “break” statements in C#

Using break statement, you can 'jump out of a loop' whereas by using continue statement, you can 'jump over one iteration' and then resume your loop execution.

Eg. Break Statement 

1. using System;  
2. using System.Collections;  
3. using System.Linq;  
4. using System.Text;  
5.   
6. namespace break_example   
7.     {  
8.         Class brk_stmt {  
9.             public static void main(String[] args) {  
10.                 for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++) {  
11.                     if (i == 4) {  
12.                         break;  
13.                     }  
14.                     Console.WriteLine("The number is " + i);  
15.                     Console.ReadLine();
16.   
17.                 }  
18.             }  
19.         }  
20.   
21.     } 

Output 

The number is 0; 
The number is 1; 
The number is 2; 
The number is 3;

Eg.Continue Statement

1. using System;  
2. using System.Collections;  
3. using System.Linq;  
4. using System.Text;  
5.   
6. namespace continue_example  
7. {  
8.     Class cntnu_stmt   
9.     {  
10.         public static void main(String[]   
11.         {  
12.             for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++)   
13.             {  
14.                 if (i == 4)   
15.                 {  
16.                     continue;  
17.                 }  
18.                 Console.WriteLine(“The number is "+ i); 
19.                 Console.ReadLine();
20.                   
21.             }  
22.         }  
23.     }  
24.       
25. }  
26.   
27.           

Output

The number is 1;
The number is 2;
The number is 3;
The number is 5;
