break Statement

break statement has the following syntax:

statement-break:        
break;
      

The ';' character at the end of the statement is mandatory.

The break statement may be used:

• Inside the switch statement to stop statement evaluation.
• Inside the for statement, while statement or do…while statement to cancel a loop.

Starting from version 5.01, break statement always ends the current scope, even if it is used outside of the switch or loops.
