The break Statement

Exit early

The break statement exits a loop immediately:

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

Use break when you find what you're looking for and don't need to continue:

for (let item of items) {
  if (item === target) {
    console.log("Found!")
    break
  }
}
