hi,

Break statement terminate the loop as below

(1..10).each do |i|
  puts i
  break if i.eql?5
end

This loop will be terminated when I reach 5.

but return will return from the function the caller function like

def hi
    a=hello
    puts a
end

def hello
    return 12
end

hi

To summarise this answer

Break exits from the innermost loop

Return exits from the function
