2.3. Exiting a loop: "break" command

We can leave a "for" loop prematurely with the "break" command:

/*---------------------------*/

/*  C# Example #24:          */

/*  example24.cs             */

/*                           */

/*  "for" with "break"       */

/*                           */

/*  Intro to C#,             */

/*    Nacho Cabanes          */

/*---------------------------*/

using System;

public class Example24

{

  public static void Main()

  {

    int counter;

    for (counter=1; counter<=10; counter++)

    {

      if (counter==5)

        break;

      Console.Write("{0} ", counter);

    }

 

  }

}

The result of this program is:

  1 2 3 4

(As the value 5 is reached, the loop is interrupted "for", so the limit value 10 is not reached).
