Example:

while (1)
print ("Hello")
Output: Hello will be printed infinite times.

To come out of the infinite loop, we can either close the program window or press Ctrl + C. This
will break the running of the program. In fact, at any time during the execution of a program in
Python, you can press the key combination Ctrl + C to strop running the program.

JUMP STATEMENTS
Sometimes, there is a situation when the control of the program needs to be transferred out of the

loop body, even if all the values of the iterations of the loop have not been completed. For this
purpose, jumping statements are used in Python. Python offers two jumping statements—break
and continue, which are used within the loop.

The Break Statement
The break is a keyword in Python which is used for bringing the program control out of the loop.
The break statement halts the execution of a loop and program flow switches to the statement
after the loop. A single break statement will break out of only one loop. The syntax of the break

statement is shown below.
Syntax:

#loop statement
break

Program 9: To demonstrate the use of the break statement in a loop.

On running the above program, we get the following output:
