what does the break funciton do in python in python

The break statement in Python is used to exit a loop prematurely. When the interpreter encounters a break statement in a loop, it immediately exits the loop, regardless of whether the loop's condition is still evaluatable.

Here's an example of using break in a for loop:

main.py
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

for number in numbers:
    if number == 3:
        break
    print(number)
102 chars
7 lines

In this example, when the loop encounters the number 3, the break statement is executed and the loop is terminated, not printing any numbers after 3.
