Q: _______ statement is used to exit the current loop.  

The break statement is used to exit the current loop.

Here is an example in Java to demonstrate its usage:

public class BreakStatementExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Loop from 1 to 5
        for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
            if (i == 3) {
                break; // Exit the loop when i is 3
            }
            System.out.println("Iteration: " + i);
        }
        System.out.println("Loop exited.");
    }
}

Output:

Iteration: 1
Iteration: 2
Loop exited.

In this example, the break statement exits the loop when i equals 3, so the loop stops executing and the program continues with the next statement after the loop.
