The MAXL break Statement
The break statement is used to exit an iteration statement. It transfers control to the
statement immediately following the iteration statement.
The break statement terminates only the most tightly enclosing loop. In loops, break
is used to terminate before the termination criteria evaluate to 0.
Syntax
break
The following example illustrates the use of the break statement in a while loop:
While(1) // No termination condition.
if( program.status() == 2) //program halt
break
end while
Note There are other simple ways to escape a loop. It is best to use the break
statement in more complex loops, where it can be difficult to tell whether the loop
should be terminated before several statements have been executed
.
The MAXL continue Statement
The continue statement forces immediate transfer of control to the loop-continuation
statement of the smallest enclosing loop. (The “loop-continuation” is the statement
that contains the controlling expression for the loop.) Therefore, the continue
statement can appear only in the dependent statement of an iteration statement.
Syntax
continue
The MAXL return Statement
The return statement allows a function to immediately transfer control back to the
calling function. A function can have any number of return statements.
Syntax
return
The goto Statement
The goto statement performs an unconditional transfer of control to the named label.
The label must be in the current function.
Syntax
goto labeled-statement
