In this example, the conditional statement contains a counter that is supposed to count from 1 to 100; however, the break statement terminates the loop after 4 counts.
// statements_break.cs
using System;
class BreakTest
{
static void Main()
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
if (i == 5)
{
break;
}
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}
}Output
1
2
3
4
This example demonstrates the use of break in a switch statement.
// statements_break2.cs
// break and switch
using System;
class Switch
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter your selection (1, 2, or 3): ");
string s = Console.ReadLine();
int n = Int32.Parse(s);
switch (n)
{
case 1:
Console.WriteLine("Current value is {0}", 1);
break;
case 2:
Console.WriteLine("Current value is {0}", 2);
break;
case 3:
Console.WriteLine("Current value is {0}", 3);
break;
default:
Console.WriteLine("Sorry, invalid selection.");
break;
}
}
}Input

Sample Output
