Module 3

break

Stopping a loop early.

Leaving the loop

The break statement stops a loop immediately. The program continues with the code after the loop.

Python
for base in "ATGCGCA":
    if base == "G":
        print("Found G")
        break
Found G

The loop stops as soon as it finds the first G. The remaining characters are not visited.

Your task

Use break

  • Loop through ATGCGCA and stop when you find G. Print Found G.
