Break

break out of a loop
Syntax

Break


Description
This command must be used inside a loop statement (For, Foreach, Repeat, or While). When executed, the current loop statement is terminated and control passes to the command following the loop statement. Thus, in the case of nested loops Break does *not* break out of all loops back to the top level (see Return).

Example
For I := 5 To 1 Step -1 Do
  For J := 1 To 100 Do
    Print J, " ";
    If J = I Then PrintLn; Break EndIf;
  EndFor;
EndFor;

1 2 3 4
