Answer

When the break statement gets executed, it terminates its loop completely and control reaches to the statement immediately following the loop. The continue statement terminates only the current iteration of the loop by skipping rest of the statements in the body of the loop.

Rewrite the following code fragment that saves on the number of comparisons:

if (a == 0) : 
  print ("Zero")
if (a == 1) : 
  print ("One")
if (a == 2) : 
  print ("Two")
if (a == 3) : 
  print ("Three")
