The Break Statement, The Continue Statement, The Goto statement, Exit() Function,

The Break Statement:-

          The break statement causes an immediate exit from the innermost loop structure. If we need to come out of a running program immediately without letting it to perform any further operation in a loop, then we can use break control statement.

          Syntax:-

                             break;

The Continue Statement:-

          The continue statement forces the next iteration of the loop to take place, skipping any statement(s) following the continue statement in the body of the loop.

          Syntax:-

                             continue;

The Goto statement:-

          The goto statement is used to transfer the control in a program from one point to another point unconditionally. This is also called unconditional branching.

          Syntax:-

                             goto label;

          Where label os a valid identifier to indicate the destination wher a control can be transferred. Syntax of a lable is lable;.

Exit() Function:-

          The function exit() is defined in the header file <stdio.h> and is used to termicate the program execution immediately.

          Syntax:-

                             exit (status);

          Where ‘status’ is the termination value returned by the program and is an integer. Normal termination usually returns 0.

          Note:-

                   Some times exit() function is confused with the break statement, though it works in a different way. Break just terminates the execution of loop (or switch) where as exit() terminates the execution of the program itself.
