break statement  
A statement that terminates the current loop iteration and causes execution to break out of a loop. 
 
continue statement  
A statement that terminates the current loop iteration and persists the loop with the next iteration.

When you are dealing with loops in your code (like for , while , do-while not if or switch)
continue will go back and increase the loop counter and start executing. all the statements below the continue in that loop would be skipped.

In case of break we exit out of the loop and go ahead.

The break keyword halts the execution of the current loop and forces control out of the loop.

The continue is similar to break, except that instead of halting the execution of the loop, it starts the next iteration.

Code
span style="color: #ff0000;">"I : "+i);         


                }       


        }


 


}


//Output :


I : 0


I : 1


I : 2


I : 3


I : 4


I : 6


I : 7


I : 8


I : 9

Similarity: Both break and continue are jumping statements. Difference: The break statement terminates the entire loop execution whereas continue statements single pass of the loop.

A break statement results in the termination of the statement to which it applies (switch,for, do, or while). A continue statement is used to end the current loop iteration and return control to the loop statement.

What happens if break is not used in switch statement?
