Question 1

What is the purpose of the 'break' statement in loops?

  • To skip to the next iteration
  • To exit the loop immediately
  • To continue looping until conditions change

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how to stop searching once you've found what you're looking for.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a program that searches a large list for a value and implements both break and else statements effectively.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on using the else for cases where the search is complete.

Question 2

Discuss how using break vs. not using it changes the performance of searching algorithms.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how often you need to loop through all elements versus when you find your result.
