I’m studying programming, and I don’t agree woth my teacher. She basically said that if we use break (and continue too maybe) our test is an instant fail. She’s reasoning is that it makes the code harder to read, and breaks the flow of it or something. (I didn’t get her yapping tbh)

I can’t understand why break would do anything of the sorts. I asked around and noone agreed with the teacher. So I came here. Is there a benefit to not using breaks or continues? And if you think she’s wrong, please explain why, briefly even. We do enough down talking on almost all teachers she doesn’t need more online.

    Can you at least share a code snippet so we have any idea about what we are looking into?

    Your teacher is wrong here, at least from what I’m getting the vibe. Those two keywords don’t make the program unreadable, they’re there to serve a purpose.

      there is no code snippet, it’s in general. break = fail. Maybe there are some cases where this isn’t true, but I have very little experience with this so far.
