Python For Break

The break Statement

With the break statement we can stop the loop before it has looped through all the items:

Exit the loop when x is "banana":

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for x in fruits:
print(x)
if x == "banana":
break

Exit the loop when x is "banana", but this time the break comes before the print:

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for x in fruits:
if x == "banana":
break
print(x)
