break, continue, and Labeled Returns

Control loop flow with break/continue and escape nested loops with labels.

Loop Flow Control

Kotlin supports break (exit the loop), continue (skip to next iteration), and labels for breaking out of nested loops.

break exits the innermost enclosing loop immediately.

fun main() {
    for (i in 1..10) {
        if (i == 5) break
        print("$i ")
    }
    println() // 1 2 3 4
}
