How to break outer loops from inner structures that respond break (loops/switch)
Label the loop as outerLoop and whenever needed user break Label: i.e. break outerLoop in our case.
outerLoop: for indexValue in 0..<arr.count-1 {
if arr[indexValue] > arr[indexValue+1] {
break outerLoop
}
}
Swift allows for labeled statements. Using a labeled statement, you can specify which which control structure you want to break
from no matter how deeply you nest your loops (although, generally, less nesting is better from a readability standpoint). This also works for continue
.
Example:
outerLoop: while someCondition {
if someOtherCondition {
switch (someValue) {
case 0: // do something
case 1: break outerLoop // exit loop
case 2...5: // do something else
default: break
}
} else {
someCondition = false
}
}
