Bash break and Continue

Loops are some of the most popular and powerful programming constructs in any language. Using loops, you can perform a single or multiple tasks any number of times when a specific condition is met.

Like you can guess, Bash scripting supports loops which can allow us to run one or more commands until a specific condition is met. However, you may need to alter the flow of the loop or terminate the loop iteration. This is where the break and continue keywords come into play.

In this tutorial, we will explore how to work with the break and continue keywords.

Loops allow you to run one or more commands multiple times until a certain condition is met. However, sometimes you may need to alter the flow of the loop and terminate the loop or only the current iteration.

In Bash, break and continue statements allows you to control the loop execution.
