Break statement on nested loop

Break statement on nested loop

• When a break statement is encountered inside a loop, the loop is immediately terminated and the program control resumes at the next statement following the loop.
• If you are using nested loops, the break statement will stop the execution of the innermost loop and start executing the next line of code after the block.
  

Program:

/* Break statement on nested loop */
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int count_1 = 0, count_2 = 0;

    while(1) {

        printf("Vel 1st while count = %d \n", count_1++);
        while(1) {
            printf("Vel Inside 2nd while count %d, 1st while = %d \n",count_2++, count_1);
            sleep(1);
            if(!(count_2 % 5)) {
                /* This break will be apply to this while loop only,
                   1st while loop still be live. */
                break;
            }
        }
        sleep(1);
    }

    return 0;
}

Output:
