How to end For loop in Python

In this article, we will see how to end for loop in Python.

In Python, break and continue statements can alter the flow of a normal loop. This break statement can also be used for ending for loop. Let’s see how this is done.

break

The break statement terminates the loop containing it. Control of the program flows to the statement immediately after the body of the loop.

# use of break in
# ending for loop

for i in range(1, 10):
	if i%5 == 0:
		print("end")
		break
	print(i)

Output:

1
2
3
4
end

In this program, we iterate from 1 to 10 (excluding 10). We check if the value is divisible by 5, upon which we print “end” and break from the loop. Hence, we see in our output that all the value up till 5 gets printed. After that, the loop terminates.
