Foreach loop Return Vs Continue in C#

 break will exit the loop completely, continue will just skip the current iteration.

For example:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    if (i == 0) {
        break;
    }

    DoSomeThingWith(i);
}

The break will cause the loop to exit on the first iteration —DoSomeThingWith will never be executed.

While:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    if (i == 0) {
        continue;
    }

    DoSomeThingWith(i);
}

Here continue skips to the next iteration of the for-loop, meaning DoSomeThingWith will not execute for i == 0.
But the loop will continue and DoSomeThingWith will be executed for i == 1 to i == 9.
