Break statement with the for loop in Golang

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will use the break statement to terminate the loop based on the specified if condition.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to demonstrate the break statement in the for loop is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Golang code to demonstrate the break statement in the for loop

// GoLang program to demonstrate the "break"
// statement in the "for" loop.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	for count := 1; count <= 10; count++ {
		if count == 5 {
			break
		}
		fmt.Printf("%d ", count)
	}
}

Output:

1 2 3 4

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt then we can use a function related to the fmt package.

In the main() function, we used the break statement to terminate the loop based on a specified condition. Here, we print numbers from 1 to 4, the loop will be terminated when the value of the count variable becomes 5.
