adding to code but still getting same output

[buran]

for i in range(1,4):
    for j in range(1,4):
        print( 'Running i =', i, 'j =', j )
    if i==2 and j==1 :
        print( 'Breaks inner loop at i=2 j=1' )
    break

In this code snippet if is still outside the second loop and also break is out of the if block, so the break statement is executed always when the execution reaches that line.
So when you start the code and enter the first loop i=1, then you enter the second loop and execute it entirely (i.e. j takes values 1, 2 3) and print the "Running..." string. Then you reach the if statement. When you reach it i=1 and j=3. so the first condition i==2 is evaluated to False AND the second condition j==1 is evaluated to False and thus the whole if statement is evaluated to False (because you have AND i.e. both conditions must be True to evaluate the entire statement as True). Thus "Breaks..." is not printed. Finally you reach the break statement and exit the loop in which it is (i.e. that is the outer loop, the one with i).
