In JavaScript, you can exit a loop before it completes all iterations using the break statement. The break statement is used to terminate the loop prematurely based on a certain condition.

Example: Here, the loop prints numbers from 1 to 10. However, when i becomes equal to 5, the break statement is executed, causing the loop to terminate immediately.

Javascript




for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
    console.log(i);
 
    if (i === 5) {
        console.log("Exiting the loop early.");
        break;
    }
}


Output

1
2
3
4
5
Exiting the loop early.
