How do I break out of a jQuery [`each`][1] loop?

I have tried: 

     return false;

in the loop but this did not work. Any ideas?

---
## Update 9/5/2020

I put the `return false;` in the wrong place. When I put it inside the loop everything worked.

How to break out of jQuery each loop?

Given the following code (that doesn&#39;t work):

    while True:
        #snip: print out current state
        while True:
            ok = get_input(&quot;Is this ok? (y/n)&quot;)
            if ok.lower() == &quot;y&quot;: break 2 #this doesn&#39;t work :(
            if ok.lower() == &quot;n&quot;: break
        #do more processing with menus and stuff

Is there a way to make this work? Or do I have do one check to break out of the input loop, then another, more limited, check in the outside loop to break out all together if the user is satisfied?

Is it possible to use the `break` function to exit several nested `for` loops?

If so, how would you go about doing this? Can you also control how many loops the `break` exits?

I&#39;m trying to use a `break` statement in a `for` loop, but since I&#39;m also using strict subs in my Perl code, I&#39;m getting an error saying:

Is there a workaround for this (besides disabling strict subs)?

From Scala Talk at FOSDEM 2009 http://www.slideshare.net/Odersky/fosdem-2009-1013261
on the 22nd page:

&gt; Break and continue
&gt; Scala does not have them. Why?
&gt; They are a bit imperative; better use many smaller functions
&gt; Issue how to interact with closures.
&gt; They are not needed!

What is the explanation?

Can anyone tell me the difference between `break` and `continue` statements?

Difference between break and continue statement

**Option 1 - switch using return:**

&lt;!-- language: lang-js --&gt;

    function myFunction(opt) 
    {
        switch (opt) 
        {
            case 1: return &quot;One&quot;;
            case 2: return &quot;Two&quot;;
            case 3: return &quot;Three&quot;;

            default: return &quot;&quot;;
        }    
    }

**Option 2 - switch using break:**

&lt;!-- language: lang-js --&gt;

    function myFunction(opt) 
    {
        var retVal = &quot;&quot;;

        switch (opt) 
        {
            case 1: 
                retVal = &quot;One&quot;;
                break;

            case 2: 
                retVal = &quot;Two&quot;;
                break;

            case 3: 
                retVal = &quot;Three&quot;;
                break;
        }

        return retVal;
    }

I know that both work, but is one more of a best practice?  I tend to like Option 1 - switch using return best, as it&#39;s cleaner and simpler.

***[Here is a jsFiddle of my specific example using the technique mentioned in @ic3b3rg&#39;s comments](http://jsfiddle.net/CodeMaverick/NENjc/)***:

&lt;!-- language: lang-js --&gt;

    var SFAIC = {};
    
    SFAIC.common = 
    {
        masterPages: 
        {
            cs: &quot;CS_&quot;,
            cp: &quot;CP_&quot;
        },
        
        contentPages: 
        {
            cs: &quot;CSContent_&quot;,
            cp: &quot;CPContent_&quot;    
        }
    };
    
    function getElementPrefix(page) 
    {
        return (page in SFAIC.common.masterPages)
            ? SFAIC.common.masterPages[page]
            : (page in SFAIC.common.contentPages)
                ? SFAIC.common.contentPages[page]
                : undefined;
    }

To call the function, I would do so in the following ways:

&lt;!-- language: lang-js --&gt;

    getElementPrefix(SFAIC.common.masterPages.cs);
    getElementPrefix(SFAIC.common.masterPages.cp);
    getElementPrefix(SFAIC.common.contentPages.cs);
    getElementPrefix(SFAIC.common.contentPages.cp);

Problem here is that it always returns undefined.  I&#39;m guessing that it&#39;s because it&#39;s passing in the actual value of the object literal and not the property.  What would I do to fix this using the technique described in **@ic3b3rg&#39;s** comments?

Is returning out of a switch statement considered a better practice than using break?

I tried this:

    for(i = 0; i &lt; 5; i++){

            break(2);

    }

only to get:

I know that `switch`/`select` statements break automatically after every case. I am wondering, in the following code:

    for {
        switch sometest() {
        case 0:
            dosomething()
        case 1:

        default:

        }
    }

Does the `break` statement exit the `for` loop or just the `switch` block?

I know I can use a flag, and break from the loop by putting a conditional break just after the switch. I just want to know if C++ has some construct for this already.


How to break out of a loop from inside a switch?

Is it a bad practice to use **`break` statement** inside a **`for` loop**?

Say, I am searching for an value in an array. Compare inside a for loop and when value is found, `break;` to exit the for loop.

Is this a bad practice? I have seen the alternative used: define a variable `vFound` and set it to true when the value is found and check `vFound` in the `for` statement condition. But is it necessary to create a new variable just for this purpose?

I am asking in the context of a normal C or C++ for loop.

P.S: The [MISRA coding guidelines](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MISRA_C) advise against using break.

I can&#39;t seem to be able to add text to a canvas if the text includes &quot;\n&quot;. I mean, the line breaks do not show/work.

    ctxPaint.fillText(&quot;s  ome \n \\n &lt;br/&gt; thing&quot;, x, y);

The above code will draw `&quot;s  ome \n &lt;br/&gt; thing&quot;`, on one line. 

Is this a limitation of fillText or am I doing it wrong? the &quot;\n&quot;s are there, and aren&#39;t printed, but they don&#39;t work either.

HTML5 canvas ctx.fillText won&#39;t do line breaks?

If I use a `break` statement, it will only break inner loop and I need to use some flag to break the outer loop. But if there are many nested loops, the code will not look good.

Is there any other way to break all of the loops? (Please don&#39;t use `goto stmt`.)


    for(int i = 0; i &lt; 1000; i++) {
       for(int j = 0; j &lt; 1000; j++) {
           if(condition) {
                // both of the loops need to break and control will go to stmt2
           }
       }
    
    }

Breaking loop when &quot;warnings()&quot; appear in R

I want to jump from the middle of a `switch` statement, to the loop statement in the following code:

I am reading serial data and writing to a csv file using a while loop. I want the user to be able to kill the while loop once they feel they have collected enough data.

    while True:
        #do a bunch of serial stuff
        
        #if the user presses the &#39;esc&#39; or &#39;return&#39; key:
            break

I have done something like this using opencv, but it doesn&#39;t seem to be working in this application (and i really don&#39;t want to import opencv just for this function anyway)...

			# Listen for ESC or ENTER key
			c = cv.WaitKey(7) % 0x100
			if c == 27 or c == 10:
				break

So. How can I let the user break out of the loop?

Also, I don&#39;t want to use keyboard interrupt, because the script needs to continue to run after the while loop is terminated.

When I create a `switch` statement in VS2008 C# like this (contrived):

    switch (state) {
        case &#39;1&#39;:
            state = &#39;2&#39;;
        case &#39;2&#39;:
            state = &#39;1&#39;;
    }
it complains that I&#39;m not allowed to drop through:

&gt;    Control cannot fall through from one case label (&#39;case &#39;1&#39; (0x31):&#39;) to another

If you&#39;re not allowed to drop through, then what is the purpose of the `break` statement at all? Why didn&#39;t the language designers just leave it out and automatically jump to the end of the `switch` statement instead of forcing us to put in an unnecessary construct?


Why does C# have break if it&#39;s not optional?

If I wanted to do something like this:

    collection.each do |i|
       return nil if i == 3
    
       ..many lines of code here..
    end

How would I get that effect? I know I could just wrap everything inside the block in a big if statement, but I&#39;d like to avoid the nesting if possible.

Break would not work here, because I do *not* want to stop iteration of the remaining elements.

How can I return something early from a block?

Why doesn&#39;t the compiler automatically put break statements after each code block in the switch? Is it for historical reasons? When would you want multiple code blocks to execute?

Why do we need break after case statements?

I have a program that does some data analysis and is a few hundred lines long.  

Very early on in the program, I want to do some quality control and if there is not enough data, I want the program to terminate and return to the R console. Otherwise, I want the rest of the code to execute.

I&#39;ve tried `break`,`browser`, and `quit` and none of them stop the execution of the rest of the program (and `quit` stops the execution as well as completely quitting R, which is not something I want to happen). My last resort is creating an `if-else` statement as below:

     if(n &lt; 500){}
     else{*insert rest of program here*}

but that seems like bad coding practice.  Am I missing something?

when editing a String in XML I need to add line breaks. And I wanted to ask what is the RIGHT form when programming for android? Because `&lt;br&gt;` works but ECLIPSE marks the area as problematic. If I check out suggestions Eclipse tells me that I shall add a end tag `&lt;/br&gt;` - IF I add that the line break dissapears...

So the one works but is marked as problematic, the other works not but Eclipse tells me its ok..

What form shall I use?

In my code I have a for loop that iterates through a method of code until it meets the for condition.

Is there anyway to break out of this for loop?

So if we look at the code below, what if we want to break out of this for loop when we get to &quot;15&quot;?

    public class Test {
    
       public static void main(String args[]) {
    
          for(int x = 10; x &lt; 20; x = x+1) {
             System.out.print(&quot;value of x : &quot; + x );
             System.out.print(&quot;\n&quot;);
          }
       }
    }

    Outputs:

    value of x : 10
    value of x : 11
    value of x : 12
    value of x : 13
    value of x : 14
    value of x : 15
    value of x : 16
    value of x : 17
    value of x : 18
    value of x : 19

I&#39;ve tried the following to no avail:

    public class Test {
    
       public static void main(String args[]) {
          boolean breakLoop = false;
          while (!breakLoop) {
              for(int x = 10; x &lt; 20; x = x+1) {
                 System.out.print(&quot;value of x : &quot; + x );
                 System.out.print(&quot;\n&quot;);
              if (x = 15) {
                  breakLoop = true;
              }
              }
          }
       }
    }

And I&#39;ve tried a loop:

    public class Test {
    
       public static void main(String args[]) {
          breakLoop:
              for(int x = 10; x &lt; 20; x = x+1) {
                 System.out.print(&quot;value of x : &quot; + x );
                 System.out.print(&quot;\n&quot;);
                 if (x = 15) {
                     break breakLoop;
                 }
          }
       }
    }

The only way I can achieve what I want to is by breaking out of a for loop, I cannot subsitute it for a while, do, if etc statement.

Edit:

This was provided only as an example, this isn&#39;t the code I&#39;m trying to get it implemented into. I have now solved the problem by placing multiple IF statements after where each loop initilizes. Before it would onlu jump out of one part of the loop due to lack of breaks;

I have a homework to implement a simple testing application, below is my current code:

    import java.util.*;

    public class Test{

    private static int typing;
    
    public static void main(String argv[]){
    	Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    	System.out.println(&quot;Testing starts&quot;);
    	while(sc.hasNextInt()){
    	    typing = sc.nextInt();
    	    switch(typing){
    	        case 0:
    	          break; //Here I want to break the while loop
    	        case 1:
    	          System.out.println(&quot;You choosed 1&quot;);
    	          break;
    	        case 2:
    	          System.out.println(&quot;You choosed 2&quot;);
    	          break;
    	        default:
    	          System.out.println(&quot;No such choice&quot;);
    	    }
    	}
    	  System.out.println(&quot;Test is done&quot;);
        }
    }
What I want to do now is that when `0` is pressed, it means that the user wants to quit the test, then I break the `while loop` and print `Test is done`, but it doesn&#39;t work like that, I know the reason might be that the `&quot;break&quot;` breaks the `switch`, how can I let it break the `while loop` instead?

Java How can I break a while loop under a switch statement?

Python has an interesting `for` statement which lets you specify an `else` clause.

In a construct like this one:

    for i in foo:
      if bar(i):
        break
    else:
      baz()

the `else` clause is executed after the `for`, but only if the `for` terminates normally (not by a `break`).

I wondered if there was an equivalent in C++? Can I use `for ... else`?

Is there an equivalent to the &quot;for ... else&quot; Python loop in C++?

Visual Studio 2017 breaks in debug mode and displays the message:

&gt; Your app has entered a break state, but there is no code to show
&gt; because all threads were executing external code (typically system or
&gt; framework code).

The message is in the `Break Mode Window`.

What to do?

Your app has entered a break state, but there is no code to show because all threads were executing external code (typically system or framework code)

I have a the below code, on which i am unable to break the loop on certain conditions.

     isVoteTally(): boolean {
   

     let count = false;
        this.tab.committee.ratings.forEach(element =&gt; {
    
          const _fo = this.isEmptyOrNull(element.ratings.finalOutcome.finaloutlook);
          const _foreign = this.isEmptyOrNull(element.ratings.finalOutcome.foreign);
          const _local = this.isEmptyOrNull(element.ratings.finalOutcome.local);
          const _tally = element.ratings.finalOutcome.voteTally.maj + element.ratings.finalOutcome.voteTally.dis;
    
          if (_fo == false &amp;&amp; _foreign == false &amp;&amp; _local == false) {
            if (_tally &gt; 0) {
              **return count = false;**
            }
          } else {
            if (_tally &lt; 0) {
              **return count = false;**
            }
          }
        });
        return count;
      }

On the star-marked area, i want to *break* the code and return the boolean value, but i am unable to do it right now. Can anybody help me.

Thanks in advance.




How to break ForEach Loop in TypeScript

In Kotlin, I cannot do a `break` or `continue` within a function loop and my lambda -- like I can from a normal `for` loop.  For example, this does not work:

&lt;!-- language-all: kotlin --&gt;

    (1..5).forEach {
        continue@forEach  // not allowed, nor break@forEach
    }

There are [old documentation](https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/Kotlin/Returns+and+jumps#Returnsandjumps-Breakandcontinueincustomcontrolstructures) that mentions this being available but it appears it was never implemented.  What is the best way to get the same behavior when I want to `continue` or `break` from within the lambda?

How do I do a &quot;break&quot; or &quot;continue&quot; when in a functional loop within Kotlin?

I am having trouble figuring out how to break out of a loop that contains a switch statement.  Break breaks out of the switch, not the loop.

There is probably a more elegant solution to this.  I have implemented a flag that starts out as true and gets set to false and ends the loop.  Can you offer a better solution?

Background: this code is used in a bar code workflow system.  We have PocketPCs that have bar code scanners built in.  This code is used in one of those functions.  It prompts the user for different pieces of data throughout the routine.  This piece allows them to scroll through some inventory records displaying that info on the PocketPC terminal (paged results) and allows them to enter &quot;D&quot; for Done, &quot;Q&quot; to quit.

Here is the current C# example that needs to be improved:

    do
    {
        switch (MLTWatcherTCPIP.Get().ToUpper())
        {
            case &quot;&quot;: //scroll/display next inventory location
                MLTWatcherTCPIP.TerminalPrompt.ScrollBodyTextDown();
                break;
            case &quot;P&quot;: //scroll/display previous inventory location
                MLTWatcherTCPIP.TerminalPrompt.ScrollBodyTextDown();
                break;
            case &quot;D&quot;: //DONE (exit out of this Do Loop)
                // break; // this breaks out of the switch, not the loop
                // return; // this exists entire method; not what I&#39;m after
                keepOnLooping = false;
                break;
            case &quot;Q&quot;: //QUIT (exit out to main menu)
                return;
            default:
                break;
        }
    } while (keepOnLooping);

Here is an example of code that does this in VB.NET

    Do
        Select Case MLTWatcherTCPIP.Get().ToUpper
            Case &quot;&quot; &#39;&#39;#scroll/display next inventory location
                MLTWatcherTCPIP.TerminalPrompt.ScrollBodyTextDown()
            Case &quot;P&quot; &#39;&#39;#scroll/display previous inventory location
                MLTWatcherTCPIP.TerminalPrompt.ScrollBodyTextUp()
            Case &quot;D&quot; &#39;&#39;#DONE (exit out of this Do Loop)
                Exit Do
            Case &quot;Q&quot; &#39;&#39;#QUIT (exit out to main menu)
                Return
        End Select
    Loop

Thanks,

Break out of a while loop that contains a switch statement

Given this method, does this represent some egregious stylistic or semantic faux pas:

    private double translateSlider(int sliderVal) {
        switch (sliderVal) {
            case 0:
                return 1.0;
            case 1:
                return .9;
            case 2:
                return .8;
            case 3:
                return .7;
            case 4:
                return .6;
            default:
                return 1.0;
        }
    }  
  

It&#39;s clearly not in line with the Java tutorials [here][1].  
  
However, It&#39;s clear, concise and so far has yielded exactly what I need.  Is there a compelling, pragmatic reason to create a local variable, assign a value to it within each case, add a break to each case and return the value at the end of the method?

Regarding Java switch statements - using return and omitting breaks in each case

Can you confirm if the next break cancels the inner for loop? 


       for (out in 1:n_old){
         
         id_velho &lt;- old_table_df$id[out]
          for (in in 1:n)
          {
           id_novo &lt;- new_table_df$ID[in]
           if(id_velho==id_novo)
           {
            break
           }else 
           if(in == n)
           {
           sold_df &lt;- rbind(sold_df,old_table_df[out,])
           }
          }
        }




R: Break for loop

After doing some reseach on how to break through a secondary loop

    while (true) { // Main Loop
       for (int I = 0; I &lt; 15; I++) { // Secondary loop
           // Do Something
           break; // Break main loop?
       }
    }

most people recommended to call the &#39;goto&#39; function
&lt;br&gt;Looking as the following example:

    while (true) { // Main Loop
       for (int I = 0; I &lt; 15; I++) { // Secondary Loop
           // Do Something
           goto ContinueOn; // Breaks the main loop
       }
    }
    ContinueOn:

However; I have often heard that the &#39;goto&#39; statement is bad practice. The picture below is perfectly illustrating my point: 
[![Series found][1]](https://xkcd.com/292/)

## So ##
* &lt;b&gt;How bad is the goto statement really, and why?&lt;/B&gt;
* &lt;b&gt;Is there a more effective way to break the main loop than using the &#39;goto&#39; statement?&lt;/b&gt;

Is using a &#39;goto&#39; statement bad?

I got a function online to help me with my current project and it had semicolons on some of the lines. I was wondering why? Is it to break the function?

    def containsAny(self, strings=[]):
        alphabet = &#39;abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789&#39;
        for string in strings:
            for char in string:
                if char in alphabet: return 1;
        return 0;

The function I got online with little modification:

    for string in strings:
        for char in string:
            if char in alphabet: return 1;

Is the above saying the following?

    if char in alphabet:
        return 1
        break

What does a semicolon do?

I just found out about using label s in JavaScript, such as:
    
    for (var i in team) {
        if(i === &quot;something&quot;) {
            break doThis: //Goto the label
        } else {
            doThat();
        }
    }

    doThis: //Label
    doIt();

I&#39;ve not heard about this until now and I can&#39;t find much information online about it and I&#39;m beginning to think there is a reason for that.

It seems to me like this is similar to a `GOTO` statement in other languages and would be considered bad practice. Would I be right in assuming this?

Is using labels in JavaScript bad practice?

Could someone please explain, with examples, what is meant by loop `break 2` or `continue 2` in PHP? What does it mean when `break` or `continue` is followed by a number?

What is meant by a number after &quot;break&quot; or &quot;continue&quot; in PHP?

When this variable becomes a certain amount i want the loop to stop, but i keep getting the error, &quot;Uncaught SyntaxError: Illegal break statement&quot;.

    function loop() {
        if (isPlaying) {
            jet1.draw();
            drawAllEnemies();
            requestAnimFrame(loop);
            if (game==1) {

                break;

            }
        
        }
    } 

illegal use of break statement; javascript

Is there a way to have nested `for` loops in Rust and break the outer one from inside the inner one, the way one could do e.g. in Java? I know Rust supports named breaks in `loop` but I can&#39;t seem to find information about the same regarding `for`.
