break and continue in Mojo

Two ways to change a loop's mind partway through.

def main():
    var total = 0
    for n in range(1, 100):
        if n % 7 != 0:
            continue
        if total + n > 200:
            break
        total += n
    print("multiples of 7 summed up to", total)

How it works

1. continue skips every number that is not a multiple of seven.
2. break leaves the loop once the total would pass the cap.
3. total keeps whatever the loop managed to accumulate.
