# The $BREAK statement

Syntax:
$BREAK

It is not always useful to exit a loop with the abort criterion. The keyword $BREAK can also abruptly terminate the execution of a loop in addition to program execution with single $CASE labels of the $SWITCH statement (see section Switch branching).

For example, this is useful with extremely nested loops if execution of the innermost loop should be interrupted.

## Programing Example

The $BREAK statement

N10 $WHILE <expr1> The loop is terminated if

N20 ... expr1 is "not valid” or

N30 expr2 is "valid”.

N40 $IF <expr2>

N50 $BREAK

N60 $ENDIF

N70 ...

N80

N90 $ENDWHILE

N100 ...
