Break

Exit current loop construct.

Declaration

Source position: system.fpd line 35

Description

Break jumps to the statement following the end of the current repetitive statement. The code between the Break call and the end of the repetitive statement is skipped. The condition of the repetitive statement is NOT evaluated.

This can be used with For, var{repeat} and While statements.

Note that while this is a procedure, Break is a compiler intrinsic (i.e. is treated specially) and hence cannot be redefined.

Errors

None.

{ Program to demonstrate the Break function. }

Var I : longint;

begin
  I:=0;
  While I<10 Do
    begin
    Inc(I);
    If I>5 Then
      Break;
    Writeln (i);
    end;
  I:=0;
  Repeat
    Inc(I);
    If I>5 Then
      Break;
    Writeln (i);
  Until I>=10;
  For I:=1 to 10 do
    begin
    If I>5 Then
      Break;
    Writeln (i);
    end;
