<p id="num"></p>
</body>
<script>
function myFunction()
{
var i = 0;
var text = "";
while (i < 10 )
{
if ( i == 5 )
{
break;
}
text += i + "<br>";
i++;
}
document.getElementById('num').innerHTML = text;
};
</script>
</html>When you will execute the above code and click on the Click Here button 0 to 4 numbers will be shown, 5 will be not showing because define a condition when the value of i will be 5, Then break statement terminates the loop.

{
if ( i == 5 )
{
continue;
}
text += i + "<br>";
}
document.getElementById('num').innerHTML = text;
};
</script>
</html>When you will execute above code and click on Click Here button 0 to 9 number will be show except 5, 5 will be not showing because define a condition, when value of i will be 5, Then continue statement stop the current iteration and continue with next means 6.
