Basically break statement is considered as transfer statement. When the break statement executes based on a condition inside a loop, then the loop is terminated.

Let’s see the following example; here loop is terminating when x==”PHP”

course=["Java","Oracle","PHP","Android","Python"]
for x in course:
    print(x)
    if(x=="PHP"):
        break

Output

Like break statement, the continue statement is another transfer statement. When the continue statement executes based on a condition inside a loop, then some portion of the loop is skipped.

Using continue statement we can stop the current iteration of the loop, and continue with the next:

Let’s see an example;
course=["Java","Oracle","PHP","Android","Python"]
for x in course:
    if(x=="PHP"):
      continue
print(x)

Output
