A break statement can be used to improve runtime efficiency when further loop execution is not required. Ex: A loop that looks for the character "a" in a given string called user\_string. The loop below is a regular for loop for going through all the characters of user\_string. If the character is found, the break statement takes execution out of the for loop. Since the task has been accomplished, the rest of the for loop execution is bypassed. user\_string = "This is a string." for i in range(len(user\_string)):   if user\_string\[i\] == 'a':     print("Found at index:", i)     break #notebox("Note", rgb("#8a94a6"), rgb("#556666"), rgb("#f7f8fa"))[ #emph[Break statement in a while loop] #link("https://www.openstax.org/r/while-break")[Break statement in a while loop; ch 5, video 6] ] #notebox("Note", rgb("#8a94a6"), rgb("#556666"), rgb("#f7f8fa"))[ #emph[Infinite loop] A break statement is an essential part of a loop that does not have a termination condition. A loop without a termination condition is known as an #strong[infinite loop]. Ex: An infinite loop that counts up starting from 1 and prints the counter's value while the counter's value is less than 10. A break condition is triggered when the counter's value is equal to 10, and hence the program execution exits. counter = 1 while True:   if counter \>= 10:     break   print(counter)   counter += 1 ] #notebox("Note", rgb("#8a94a6"), rgb("#556666"), rgb("#f7f8fa"))[ #emph[Using a break statement] ] === Continue A #strong[continue] statement allows for skipping the execution of the remainder of the loop without exiting the loop entirely. A continue statement can be used in a for or a while loop. After the continue statement's execution, the loop expression will be evaluated again and the loop will continue from the loop's expression. A continue statement facilitates the loop's control and readability. #notebox("Note", rgb("#8a94a6"), rgb("#556666"), rgb("#f7f8fa"))[ #emph[Continue statement in a while loop] #link("https://www.openstax.org/r/while-control")[Control statement in a while loop; ch 5, video 7] ] #notebox("Note", rgb("#8a94a6"), rgb("#556666"), rgb("#f7f8fa"))[ #emph[Using a continue statement] ] #notebox("Note", rgb("#8a94a6"), rgb("#556666"), rgb("#f7f8fa"))[ #emph[Using break control statement in a loop] Write a program that reads a string value and prints "Found" if the string contains a space character.
