What is the difference between break and continue statement? Explain with exemple.

The break statement is used in the loop to terminate the iteration of the loop. At the vary point the break statement is encountered the loop terminates. But in case of continue, when it is encountered, the control of execution ignores the remaining statements in the loop and starts execution from the very beginning statement of the loop.

 Example for break statement:
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<=10;i++){
    printf("%d",i);
    if(i==3)
    break;
    }
Output: 0 1 2 3
When if condition becomes true, the loop terminates.

 Example for continue statement:
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<=10;i++){
    if(i==3)
    continue;
    printf("%d",i);
    }
Output: 0 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
When if condition becomes true continue is encountered, the loop ignores the remaining lines in the loop. So 3 has not been printed.

What is Linux?

Just like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X, Linux is an operating system. An operating system is software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop or laptop. To put it simply – the operating system manages the communication between your software and your hardware. The OS is comprised of a number of pieces: The Bootloader:  The software that manages the boot process of your computer. For most users, this will simply be a splash screen that pops up and eventually goes away to boot into the operating system. The kernel:  This is the one piece of the whole that is actually called “Linux”. The kernel is the core of the system and manages the CPU, memory, and peripheral devices. The kernel is the “lowest” level of the OS. Daemons:  These are background services (printing, sound, scheduling, etc) that either start up during boot, or after you log into the desktop. The Shell:  You’ve probably heard mention of the Linux command line. This

What is The Difference Between Declaration And Definition of a Variable/Function?

Declaration of a variable/function simple declares that the variable/function exists somewhere in the program but memory is not allocated them. But the declaration of a variable/function serves an important role. And that is a type of the variable/function. Therefore, when a variable/function is declared, the program knows the data type of that variable. In case of function declaration,   the program knows what are the arguments to that functions, their data types, the order of arguments and the return type of the function. So that’s all about declaration. Coming to the definition, when we define a variable/function, apart from the role of declaration, it also allocates memory for that variable/function. Therefore, we can think of definition as a super set of declaration. (or declaration as a subset of definition). From this explanation, it should be obvious that a variable/function can be declared any number of times but it can be defined only once. (Remember the basic principle that
