break

The break keyword immediately exits the nearest enclosing for, while, or do...while loop. Control resumes after the loop.

Syntax & Example​

for n in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] {
    if n == 3 { break; }
    print(n);
}
// Prints: 1, 2

Use Cases​

  • Stopping a loop as soon as a search condition is met.
  • Exiting early on an error or sentinel value.
note

break triggers any defer statements registered in the current loop iteration's scope.
