PYTHON LESSON
break and continue
break exits loop; continue skips current iteration.
Use to simplify loop control.
Skipping necessary updates before continue.

This lesson is about break and continue. You are in the Logic part of the course.
Main idea:
break exits loop; continue skips current iteration.
How to learn it: type a very small program first. Run it. Change one line and run again.
Tip:
Use to simplify loop control.
Common mistake:
Skipping necessary updates before continue.
Your challenge:
Find first even number in list.
Scroll down to the challenge lab. Run your code there. When the output meets the task and the checks pass, press the green button to finish this topic.
Example code
Copy this example if it helps. Change it so it matches break and continue.
# Topic: break and continue
def main():
sample = "edit me"
# TODO: apply break and continue concept here
result = sample
print("Result:", result)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Challenge
Find first even number in list.
Before you can finish: your output should include at least 16 characters; at least 1 non-empty line(s); no crash traceback—fix errors until the program runs cleanly.
Use Run. Read the output. Change your code until the task is done.
