? JavaScript break Statement

What is break?

• The break statement exits (breaks out of) a loop or a switch statement immediately.

• Useful to stop iteration or skip remaining cases.

Usage with Loops

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {  if (i === 5) {    break;  // exit loop when i is 5  }  console.log(i);}// Output: 0 1 2 3 4

• Works with for, while, and do...while loops.

Usage with Switch Statements

const fruit = "apple";switch(fruit) {  case "banana":    console.log("Banana");    break;  case "apple":    console.log("Apple");    break;  // Without break, execution falls through to next case  case "orange":    console.log("Orange");    break;  default:    console.log("Unknown fruit");}

• Without break, cases fall through, executing subsequent cases unintentionally.

Important Notes

• break only exits the innermost loop or switch.

• To break outer loops inside nested loops, use labeled statements:

outerLoop: for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {  for (let j = 0; j < 3; j++) {    if (i === 1 && j === 1) {      break outerLoop;  // breaks outer loop    }    console.log(i, j);  }}

Need examples on labeled breaks or how to control loops with continue and break together?
