Control loop execution precisely with the break and continue statements.
The `break` and `continue` statements provide you with finer control over the execution of your loops. The `break` statement is used to terminate a loop (or a `switch` statement) immediately. When the JavaScript engine encounters a `break` statement, it will exit the current loop entirely and continue execution at the first statement following the loop. This is useful when you've found the item you were looking for or when a certain error condition is met, and there's no need to continue iterating. The `continue` statement, on the other hand, does not terminate the loop but instead skips the current iteration. When `continue` is encountered, the rest of the code inside the loop for the current iteration is skipped, and the loop proceeds to the next iteration. For a `for` loop, the final expression (e.g., `i++`) is still executed before the next iteration begins. This is useful when you want to bypass certain elements in an iterable based on a condition, without stopping the entire looping process. For example, you might use `continue` to skip processing negative numbers in a list of values. Both statements are powerful tools for making your loops more efficient and tailored to specific logical requirements.
