break

Break

Jumps the flow of control to the end of the immediate loop and executes the first instruction following the loop. This is different from a return, which leaves all loops and the function scope. Break is only meaningful inside of a loop.

Example:

function Foo()
{
     while (true)
     {
          while (z < 5)
          {
               ...
               if (x == false)
               {
               break;     // jumps to line following while (z < 5) {}
               }
               if (y == true)
               {
          return 5;     // returns from Foo() immediately
               }
          }
          if (x == false)
          {
               break;     // jumps to line following while (true) {}
          }
     }
     ...
     return -1;	// returns from Foo() immediately
}
