break statement
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home

Hi,
I have this sample program where the compiler gives me error for the break statement.
The error is " misplaced break in afunction"
Could anyone help me understanding why the break statement gives an error? i understand that u can use break in a for , while loop etc., and exit early when required.
thanks for the help

break statements can be used in looping constructs, and in switch/case blocks. They cannot be used to break out of an "if" block, or as an alternative means of returning from a function.
Also, <iostream.h> is non-standard. #include <iostream> instead.

i thing break is for switch case statement only..

They're for abruptly "breaking" loops.

Probably because the above program is a 'test' program(or something of that sort)
