Introduction

break statement jumps out of the closest enclosing loop

The break statement causes an immediate exit from a loop.

The following code creates an interactive loop.

It uses the input method which is raw_input in Python 2.X.

The code exits when the user enters "stop" for the name request:

Demo

while True: 
    name = input('Enter name:')           # Use raw_input() in 2.X 
    if name == 'stop': break 
    age  = input('Enter age: ') 
    print('Hello', name, '=>', int(age) ** 2)

Result

This code converts the age input to an integer with int before raising it to the second power.

The input returns user input as a string.
