Break-Or-Continue-Outside-Loop

Sourcery rule id: break-or-continue-outside-loop

Description

Remove break or continue statement found outside for or while loop

Before

def handle_invalid_number(numbers):
    for number in numbers:
        if is_valid(number):
            continue
    break
    handle(number)

After

def handle_invalid_number(numbers):
    for number in numbers:
        if is_valid(number):
            continue
    handle(number)

Explanation

The break and continue are used to control the behaviour of for and while loops. Using them outside those loops is a SyntaxError.

This error may be very easy to pass through since sometimes it is caused by a wrong indentation.
