JAVASCRIPT BREAK STATEMENT

In javascript programming, the break word is used to terminate the further execution of a loop if a certain test condition is met.

The break word is situated in the loop after a condition. As soon the test condition is met, the loop stops immediately.

Example Without Break:

i=1;

while(i < 10)
{
document.write("Hello<br>");
i++;
}

The above will output Hello nine times and the loop ends naturally.

Example With Break:

i=1;

while(i < 10)
{
document.write("Hello<br>");
if(i== 4)
break;
i++;
}

The above will output Hello four times and the loop ends prematurely when the test condition of i==4 is met.
