Explain break, continue, pass statement with example

Sure, I can explain these three statements which are commonly used in Python programming.

1. break statement: The break statement in Python terminates the current loop and resumes execution at the next statement. It is used to exit a for loop or a while loop prematurely.

Example:

for letter in 'Python':
   if letter == 'h':
      break
   print('Current Letter :', letter)

In this example, the loop will break as soon as it encounters 'h', and thus, only 'P', 'y', 't' will be printed.

2. continue statement: The continue statement in Python returns the control to the beginning of the while loop or for loop. It rejects all the remaining statements in the current iteration of the loop and moves the control back to the top of the loop.

Example:

for letter in 'Python':
   if letter == 'h':
      continue
   print('Current Letter :', letter)

In this example, when the loop encounters 'h', it will not print 'h'. Instead, it will continue with the next iteration, thus 'P', 'y', 't', 'o', 'n' will be printed.

3. pass statement: The pass statement in Python is used when a statement is required syntactically but you do not want any command or code to execute. It is like a placeholder when the code is to be written in the future.

Example:

for letter in 'Python':
   if letter == 'h':
      pass
   print('Current Letter :', letter)

In this example, 'pass' does nothing when the loop encounters 'h' and all the letters 'P', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n' will be printed.
