The keyword break is used to exit out of a loop.

int x;
 
while( x < 20 ){
 
   if( x > 10 ) break;
 
   x++;
}

The while loop would increment x as long as it was less than twenty. However when x is incremented to ten the condition in the if statement becomes true, so the break statement causes the while loop to be broken and execution would continue after the closing parentheses.
