MATLAB Break Statement

Loop Statements in Matlab

The break statement terminates the execution of the for or while loop. Statements that appear after the break statement in the loop will not be executed.

In nested loops, the break only exits from the loop where the interruption occurred. Control is passed to the statement after the loop ends.

Online Example

Create a script file and enter the following code-

a =　10;
%The while loop is executed
while(a <　20)
　　　fprintf('value of a: %d\n', a);
　　　a = a　+　1;
　　　　　　if(a >　15)
　　　　　　　　　%Use the break statement to terminate the loop
　　　　　　　　　break;
　　　　　　end　
end

value of a:　10
value of a:　11
value of a:　12
value of a:　13
value of a:　14
value of a:　15
