Moving on deep function

Question

I have a short question: How can I move from A to B in this code:

for(var i=0;i<length;i++)
{
    B <--------------- So far
    if (/*condition*/)
    {                   
        if(/*condition*/)
        {                       
            .....
        }
        else {
            A  <------------ From here
        };
    }
    else if(/*condition*/)
    {
        ...
    }
}

I know about break and continue, but it doesn't work here

Thanks all!

That's where it's going to go anyway with what you provided. — Smern, Aug 07 '13 at 17:34
My guess is that `A` only happens on the last iteration of the loop (`i` is `length-1`). — Andrew Clark, Aug 07 '13 at 17:39
`continue` works. You're being wrong. Please fix your question. — djechlin, Aug 07 '13 at 17:41

Recursion

for(var i=0;i<length;i++) {
    someFunc(i);   
}

function someFunc(i){
    if (/*condition*/){                   
        if(/*condition*/) {     
        } else {
            return someFunc(i) //change i  to prevent infinite loop
        }
    } else if(/*condition*/ ) {
    }
}

looks like an infinite recursion if it gets to that point... unless something in the conditions is changing within an iteration – Smern Aug 07 '13 at 17:38
no. it is concept code. In your concept code you'd get also a infinite jumps – kwarunek Aug 07 '13 at 17:39
OP is being incredibly unclear. continue works. – djechlin Aug 07 '13 at 17:42
In that way the code is simpler to refactor and write tests, but you are right – kwarunek Aug 07 '13 at 17:44
continue and break would break or go to next iteration... I presumed that was the problem to solve – kwarunek Aug 07 '13 at 17:47

You could probably use goto.js (http://summerofgoto.com/) to handle this with the exact loop that you're trying to use, but you should consider just finding a different way to factor your code.

continue works in the OP's code. I don't know what OP is talking about. – djechlin Aug 07 '13 at 17:41
Yeah, it's a really oddly worded question. Thanks for the downvote :) – CamHenlin Aug 07 '13 at 17:43

Downvote is because I think it's a bad idea to give a really complex answer/suggestion when the OP clearly has a very basic misunderstanding going on. If someone doesn't know how to add two numbers, you don't recommend jQuery. – djechlin Aug 07 '13 at 17:49
