Solutions to CBSE Sample Paper - Computer Science Class 12

State True or False:

“In a Python program, if a break statement is given in a nested loop, it terminates the execution of all loops in one go.”

Answer

Answer by student:

False

Detailed answer by teachoo:

A break statement in a nested loop only terminates the execution of the innermost loop that contains it. The outer loops continue to execute normally. 

For example, consider the following Python program:

Break Statement Example using a Python Program - Teachoo.png

As we can see, the break statement only terminates the inner loop when i == j, but the outer loop continues to iterate until i reaches 4.

Therefore, the statement is false .
