Why don't break and continue have the same level of indentation?

While break and continue both control the flow of our program, we want them to run only under certain conditions. In the shopping list program the 'brake' function is part of the 'if' block. In python most blocks are started with a colon ( : ) and after that everything in that block is indented. This lets the interpreter know where blocks start and end. We use different blocks all the time such as in loops and and if statements. Sometimes blocks are inside each other so you have many different levels nested depending on what runs when.

In javascript ( I notice you took some javascript) the indentation doesn't really matter as we define blocks with curly braces {} to let the system know where things start and stop.

So because we only want to end the loop (that keeps asking for the items) when we type 'done', we indent the brake command so it is inside the if block. Else it would always run and would always top the loop there. The continue we want to alway run if the program gets to the end of the loop. The use of contine is kind of odd here. The program should always continue to the next loop when it gets to the end of this program, but it may be good convention or just to show that function.
