Questions tagged [break]

Using break will immediately exit the loop without completing the current iteration, in this example when i is 3 the loop will finish without any other line in the loop being executed.

Example (Python):

for i in range(1, 6):
    print(i)
    if i == 3:
        break
    print("do stuff")
print("after the loop")

Output:

1
do stuff
2
do stuff
3
after the loop
