Control Loop Iterations in JavaScript

In JavaScript, the break and continue statements allow you to control the execution flow of loops by either terminating them prematurely or skipping their iterations.

The break keyword

The break keyword is used to immediately terminate a running loop, regardless of whether the loop's condition is met or not.

loop {  statements  break;}

Example

Let's consider this script, that outputs the individual characters of a string until it encounters the 's' character:

const word = 'javascript';let index = 0;while (word[index] !== undefined) {  if (word[index] === 's') {    break;  }  console.log(word[index]);  index++;
