JavaScript break and continue Statements
There are two special statements that can be used inside loops: break and continue.Break
The break command will break the loop and continue executing the code that follows after the loop (if any).Example
<html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> var i=0; for (i=0;i<=10;i++) { if (i==3) { break; } document.write("The number is " + i); document.write("<br />"); } </script> </body> </html> |
Result
The number is 0 The number is 1 The number is 2 |
Continue
The continue command will break the current loop and continue with the next value.Example
<html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> var i=0 for (i=0;i<=10;i++) { if (i==3) { continue; } document.write("The number is " + i); document.write("<br />"); } </script> </body> </html> |
Result
The number is 0 The number is 1 The number is 2 The number is 4 The number is 5 The number is 6 The number is 7 The number is 8 The number is 9 The number is 10 |
