Break the Loop (When You Must)

Learn how to exit or skip within loops.

Sometimes, we don’t want to run the entire code—just part of it—until a certain condition is met, like a user typing “quit” or a robot reaching a goal.
This is where Python gives us control tools like if statements to check conditions, and break to stop a loop immediately when needed.

It’s like saying: “Keep going… until this happens—then stop!”

Stopping a loop when a condition is met

In the example, we use a while True loop to keep asking the user for input until they type "exit." Then, we use a break to stop the loop.
