# Print numbers from 1 to 10, but terminate the loop when it reaches 5
for i in range(1, 11):
    # When i is 5
    if i == 5:
        # Terminate the loop
        break
    # Print i
    print(i)

# Using break to Stop Loops

The `break` keyword immediately terminates a loop and proceeds to execute the code that follows the loop.

It is typically used within a loop when a specific condition is met, and further iteration is unnecessary.

<br />

## Example of Using the break Statement

```python title="Stopping a loop using break"
# Print numbers from 1 to 10, but stop the loop at 5
for i in range(1, 11):
    # When i equals 5
    if i == 5:
        # Exit the loop
        break
    # Print i
    print(i)
```

```text title="Output"
1
2
3
4
```

In the code above, the loop `for i in range(1, 11):` iterates through numbers from 1 to 10, but when `i` equals 5, it encounters `break` and the loop terminates.

The 'break' keyword immediately terminates the loop. For example, if a certain condition is met and no further iterations are needed, the 'break' statement can be used to exit the loop and proceed with the subsequent code.
