Hi,
break and continue are related but different commands. Break applies
to all remaining iterations, continue applies to the current
iteration.
Break will terminate the loop completely (i.e. stop executing the
rest of the loop body, and move on to the statement immediately
following the loop body, even if all values of the looping variable
have not yet been iterated over).
Continue will terminate the current iteration (i.e. stop executing
the rest of the loop body, but still restart from the beginning of
the loop body at the next iteration of the looping variable).
In both cases, you would normally have conditional code to control
what you want to do.
For example; in the code below, a trace will be printed when i == 1to
8 except when i == 5 (continue without trace), and never reach i == 9
to 10 since break will force an exit.
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
if (i == 5) {
continue;
}
_TRACE("i == " + i);
if (i == 8) {
break;
}
}
For more information, run AmiBroker, click Help menu, click on Index
tab and type in break. Do the same for continue.
