How to break out of multiple loops in Python?

By Animesh Arya

In this tutorial, we will learn how to break out of multiple loops in Python with some cool and easy examples.

I know, you have faced so many problems in Python to break out from multiple loops. Python Language has so many inbuilt functions so that you can ease your work.

Break statement in Python

To terminate the continuous running loop we use the break statement.

NOTE:- If there is nested looping, the break statement will work for an innermost loop.

Below is the syntax for the break statement:

break

Exapmle 1:

See the Python code below:

for i in range (0,10):
    if i  == 5:
        break
    print(i)
print("stop")

Output:
0
1
2
3
4
stop

Example 2:

There is a certain machine that will count the number of platelets in the Human Body. If the platelets are lower then 65000, it will tell doctor to consult that patient first and there will be 1000 platelets degrading per hour.

platelets = 150000
while platelets > 0:
    print("platelets count of patient is",platelets)
    platelets = platelets - 10000
    if platelets < 95000:
        break
print("Doctor consult this patient first")

Output:
platelets count of patient is 150000
platelets count of patient is 140000
platelets count of patient is 130000
platelets count of patient is 120000
platelets count of patient is 110000
platelets count of patient is 100000
Doctor consult this patient first
