Break

From Game Editor

The break statement is used to exit from a loop (do, while, for) or switch statement.

Example:

 char letter_to_guess = 'a';
 char guess;
 int max_guesses = 3;
 for ( num_guesses = 0; num_guesses < max_guesses; ++ num_guesses) {
   printf("Guess my letter, a thru z, in %d guesses.\n", max_guesses - num_guesses);
   scanf("%c", &guess);
   if (guess == letter_to_guess) {
     printf("You guessed it in %d guesses!\n", num_guesses);
     break;
   }
 }
 print("Done.\n");

The break only exits the inner-most loop or switch statement.

Example:

 char letter_to_guess = 'a';
 char guess, choice;
 int max_guesses = 3;
 do {
   for ( num_guesses = 0; num_guesses < max_guesses; ++ num_guesses) {
     printf("Guess my letter, a thru z, in %d guesses.\n", max_guesses - num_guesses);
     scanf("%c", &guess);
     if (guess == letter_to_guess) {
       printf("You guessed it in %d guesses!\n", num_guesses);
       break;
     }
   }
   print("Press 'q' to quit, any other key to play again.\n");
   scanf("%c", &choice);
 } while ( choice != 'q');

If the guess is correct, only the for loop surrounding the break is ended. The outer do loop continues to execute.
