The :keyword:`break` statement breaks out of the innermost enclosing
:keyword:`for` or :keyword:`while` loop.

Loop statements may have an :keyword:`!else` clause; it is executed when the loop
terminates through exhaustion of the iterable (with :keyword:`for`) or when the

terminated by a :keyword:`break` statement. This is exemplified by the

A :keyword:`!for` or :keyword:`!while` loop can include an :keyword:`!else` clause.

In a :keyword:`for` loop, the :keyword:`!else` clause is executed
after the loop reaches its final iteration.

In either kind of loop, the :keyword:`!else` clause is **not** executed
if the loop was terminated by a :keyword:`break`.

This is exemplified in the following :keyword:`!for` loop,
which searches for prime numbers::
