break statement

^Syntax
BreakStatement :
   break

The break statement can only be used within a for or while loop and causes the immediate termination of the loop.

If used within nested loops the break statement is associated with the innermost enclosing loop.

An example of a break statement used within a while loop.

contract Foo {

    pub fn bar() -> u256 {
        let mut sum: u256 = 0
        while sum < 10 {
            sum += 1

            if some_abort_condition() {
                break
            }
        }
        return sum
    }

    fn some_abort_condition() -> bool {
        // some complex logic
        return true
    }
}

An example of a break statement used within a for loop.

contract Foo {

    pub fn bar(values: Array<u256, 10>) -> u256 {
        let mut sum: u256 = 0
        for i in values {
            sum = sum + i

            if some_abort_condition() {
                break
            }
        }
        return sum
    }

    fn some_abort_condition() -> bool {
        // some complex logic
        return true
    }
}
