Break statement
Format
The format is:
break ;
It forcibly terminates a nearest loop statement that surrounds it. The execution control will jump to the next statement of the loop.
Loop statements are:
break
A keyword that indicates that it is a break statement.
Semicolon
The end of a break statement is represented by a semicolon.
Example
| 1: | class example |
| 3: | open method void someMethod() |
| 4: | while(true) |
| 7: | break; |
| 8: | endwhile |
| 8: | em |
| 9: | ec |
When the someMethod() method is called, it rushes into a while loop and immediately exits the loop.
Execution control moves to the next statement of the endwhile. It is end of the method, so someMethod() is terminated and returns to the caller.
