Loop Control (break, continue)

Loop control statements modify the normal flow of iteration within loops. The break statement immediately exits the innermost containing loop, while continue skips the remaining statements in the current iteration and proceeds to the next iteration. All loop blocks must be terminated by an end statement.

BreakStmt        = "break" ;
ContinueStmt     = "continue" ;

These statements provide fine-grained control over loop execution, allowing early termination or selective processing of loop iterations based on runtime conditions.

Valid Syntax:

while true do
    if shouldExit then
        break
    end
    if shouldSkip then
        continue
    end
    ProcessItem()
end

foreach item in items do
    if item.isInvalid then
        continue
    end
    ProcessValidItem(item)
end

Notes

• break and continue can only be used within loop constructs
• break exits the innermost containing loop
• continue skips to the next iteration of the innermost containing loop
