To stop a for-loop early in JavaScript, you have to use a break statement. JavaScript break statement “jumps out” of a loop.
JavaScript break for loop example code
A simple example code ends the loop (“breaks” the loop) when the loop counter (i) is 3.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i === 3) {
console.log("Break")
break;
}
console.log(i)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Another example
We can break at any point in time the execution using the break keyword:
const list = ['a', 'b', 'c']
for (let i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
if (list[i] === 'b') break
console.log(list[i])
}break also works in for..of loops:
const list = ['a', 'b', 'c']
for (const item of list) {
if (item === 'b') break
console.log(item)
