C++ Developer - The Break and Continue Statements

The video tutorial covers the use of loops in C++ and how control statements like continue and break can alter loop behavior. It demonstrates the use of these statements in while and for loops, explaining their effects on loop execution. A challenge is presented to print even numbers using the continue statement. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on the historical context of break and continue statements, comparing them to the Goto statement and their role in structured programming.

What is the primary purpose of using loops in programming?

• To execute a block of code randomly

• To execute a block of code repeatedly

• To execute a block of code once

• To execute a block of code conditionally

What happens when a continue statement is encountered in a loop?

• The loop terminates immediately

• The current iteration is skipped and the loop continues with the next iteration

• The loop restarts from the beginning

• The loop pauses for a specified time

In the context of loops, what does the break statement do?

• It skips the current iteration

• It exits the loop entirely

• It pauses the loop

• It restarts the loop

How can you modify a loop to print only even numbers using the continue statement?

• By checking if the number is odd and using continue

• By using a for loop instead of a while loop

• By checking if the number is even and using break

• By using a do-while loop

What operator is useful for determining if a number is even?

• Addition operator (+)

• Multiplication operator (*)

• Modulus operator (%)

• Division operator (/)

Why do some developers avoid using break and continue statements?

• They are difficult to understand

• They can lead to disorganized code

• They are not supported in modern languages

• They are considered outdated

What is the main reason for the invention of structured programming?

• To enhance code execution speed

• To improve code readability

• To eliminate the use of Goto statements

• To simplify programming languages
