Difference between break; and continue;

-----------------------------------

Sorry if its a dumb question...i tried them out and i think that they do same thing...i tried them in if structures and switch...so can anyone please explain the difference because why make two separate commands that do the same thing right?

In a loop, continue will advance immediately to the next step through the loop.

....break will break you out of the loop and run the code that follows it

try this and see the difference:

int x = 0;
for( x; x != 10; ++x ) {
   if( x == 5 ) break;
}
cout
