Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed your program to perform a task repeatedly? Perhaps not just a few times, but potentially hundreds or even thousands of times? Or maybe you're not even sure how many repetitions you'll need upfront. This is where the magic of loops comes into play, particularly the versatile while loop.
Loops are the heartbeat of programming, driving the rhythm of repetitive tasks. But what if we need to alter this rhythm? What if we want to prematurely end a loop or skip an iteration altogether? Enter the break and continue statements—powerful tools that allow us to redirect the flow of our loops. Let's dive into how these statements can transform our code.
