break statement javascript code example

Example 1: javascript line break

//in JavaScript, you can declare a line break (or new line)
//with the \n character.
var linebreak = '\n';

Example 2: javascript break out of loop

//break out of for loop
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    if (i === 3) { break; }
}

Example 3: js continue

for(var i=0;i<10;i++){
if(i==5){continue;}
console.log(i);
}

/*
returns 0 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9
*/

for(var i=0;i<10;i++){
if(i==5){break;}
console.log(i);
}

/*
returns 0 1 2 3 4
*/

Example 4: js break out of a function

By using 'return;':

function myfunction(){
   if(a == 'stop') 
      return;  //returns Void, ending function
}

Does not work when using a Conditional operator:

let result =  1 == 2   ?  "YES" : return;  //<--- throws error

Example 5: break in if statement js

breakme: if (condition) {
    // Do stuff

    if (condition2){
        // do stuff
    } else {
       break breakme;
    }

    // Do more stuff
}
