More Control Flow Tools
***********************
Besides the :keyword:`while` statement just introduced, Python uses the usual
flow control statements known from other languages, with some twists.
As well as the :keyword:`while` statement just introduced, Python uses a few more
that we will encounter in this chapter.

:keyword:`!break` and :keyword:`!continue` Statements, and :keyword:`!else` Clauses on Loops
============================================================================================
The :keyword:`break` statement, like in C, breaks out of the innermost enclosing
The :keyword:`break` statement breaks out of the innermost enclosing
:keyword:`for` or :keyword:`while` loop.
Loop statements may have an :keyword:`!else` clause; it is executed when the loop
terminates through exhaustion of the iterable (with :keyword:`for`) or when the
condition becomes false (with :keyword:`while`), but not when the loop is
terminated by a :keyword:`break` statement. This is exemplified by the
following loop, which searches for prime numbers::
A :keyword:`!for` or :keyword:`!while` loop can include an :keyword:`!else` clause.
In a :keyword:`for` loop, the :keyword:`!else` clause is executed
after the loop reaches its final iteration.
In a :keyword:`while` loop, it's executed after the loop's condition becomes false.
In either kind of loop, the :keyword:`!else` clause is **not** executed
if the loop was terminated by a :keyword:`break`.
This is exemplified in the following :keyword:`!for` loop,
which searches for prime numbers::
>>> for n in range(2, 10):
... for x in range(2, n):
