Break and Continue Statements

Break Statement

Sometimes, you might need to stop the loop from within its body. Use the break statement within loops to pass control to the first statement following the innermost loop (for, while, or repeat block).

For example:

	
Lcd_Out(1,1,'Insert CF card');	
	
// Wait for CF card to be plugged; refresh every second
while TRUE do
begin
  if Cf_Detect() = 1 then break;
  Delay_ms(1000);
end;

// Now we can work with CF card ...
Lcd_Out(1,1,'Card detected   ');

Continue Statement

You can use the continue statement within loops to “skip the cycle”:

// continue jumps here
for i := ... do
  begin
    ...
    continue;
    ...
  end;
// continue jumps here
while condition do
  begin
    ...
    continue;
    ...
  end;
repeat
  begin
    ...
    continue;
    ...
  // continue jumps here
until condition;
