JavaScript Break and Continue Statements

There are two special statements that can be used inside loops: break and continue.

Break

The break command will break the loop and continue executing the code that follows after the loop (if any).

Example

<html>
<body>
<font face="Verdana" size=2>

<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0
for (i=0;i<=10;i++)
{
if(i==5)break
document.write("The number is: " + i + "<br>")
}
</script>

</font>
</body>
</html>

Result

The number is: 0
The number is: 1
The number is: 2
The number is: 3
The number is: 4

Continue

Example

<html>
<body>
<font face="Verdana" size=2>

<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0
for (i=0;i<=10;i++)
{
if(i>4 && i<8)continue
document.write("The number is: " + i + "<br>")
}
</script>
