You use the break statement to terminate a loop early such as the while loop or the for loop. If there are nested loops, the break statement will terminate the innermost loop. You can also use the break statement to terminate a switch statement or a labeled statement.


We can break both a $(selector).each() loop and a $.each() loop at a particular iteration by making the callback function return false. Returning non-false is the same as a continue statement in a for loop; it will skip immediately to the next iteration.

return false; // this is equivalent of 'break' for jQuery loop

return;       // this is equivalent of 'continue' for jQuery loop

Note that $(selector).each() and $.each() are different functions.

References:


$('.submit').filter(':checked').each(function() {
    //This is same as 'continue'
    if(something){
        return true;
    }
    //This is same as 'break'
    if(something){
        return false;
    }
});

return or return false are not the same as continue. If the loop is inside a function the remainder of the function will not execute as you would expect with a true "continue".
