Name:
break -- breaks out of a switch statement or a loop
Synopsis:
break
Description:
break transfers control immediately outside the enclosing loop or switch statement. This is the preferred way of leaving a such a statement (rather than goto, which is still possible in most cases).
Example:
for a=1 to 10
break
print "Hi"
next a
while(1)
break
print "Hi"
wend
repeat
break
print "Hi"
until(0)
switch 1
case 1:break
case 2:case 3:print "Hi"
end switch
Explanation:
This example prints nothing at all, because each of the loops (and the switch-statement) does an immediate break (before it could print any "Hi").
