Control Flow: Control Transfer Statements

This tutorial belongs to the Swift series

Swift provides you 2 statements that you can use to control the flow inside a loop: continue and break

continue is used to stop the current iteration, and run the next iteration of the loop.

break ends the loop, not executing any other iteration.

Example:

let list = ["a", "b", "c"]
for item in list {
  if (item == "b") {
    break
  }
  //do something
}
