JavaScript break Statement (Live Playground)

In this tutorial, we will explore the break statement, and learn how to use it in our code.

break Statement​

The break statement is used to exit a loop and stop the further execution of iterations when a certain condition is met.

Example:

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i === 5) {
    break;
  }
  console.log(`Iteration ${i + 1}`);
}

In the example above, the loop stops when i reaches 5, and the output displays the iteration number from 1 to 5.
