In this tutorial, we will learn about the break statement in Kotlin. We will cover the basics of using the break statement to exit loops and switch statements.
A break statement is used to terminate the execution of a loop or when a condition is met in a loop or switch statement. When a break statement is encountered, control is transferred to the statement immediately following the loop or switch.
The syntax for the break statement in Kotlin is:
break
The break statement can be used in for, while, do-while loops, and when statements to exit the current loop or switch block prematurely.
i
is equal to 5.i
.fun main() {
for (i in 1..10) {
if (i == 5) {
break
}
println(i)
}
}
1 2 3 4
i
and initialize it to 1.i
is less than or equal to 10.i
is equal to 5.i
.fun main() {
var i = 1
while (i <= 10) {
if (i == 5) {
break
}
println(i)
i++
}
}
1 2 3 4
num
.num
.num
.num
.fun main() {
val num = 2
when (num) {
1 -> println("Number is 1")
2 -> println("Number is 2")
3 -> println("Number is 3")
else -> println("Number is not 1, 2, or 3")
}
}
Number is 2
