Previous: 6.8 The raise statement Up: 6. Simple statements Next: 6.10 The continue statement

6.9 The `break` statement

break_stmt:     "break"

break may only occur syntactically nested in a for or while loop, but not nested in a function or class definition within that loop.

It terminates the nearest enclosing loop, skipping the optional else clause if the loop has one.

If a for loop is terminated by break, the loop control target keeps its current value.

When break passes control out of a try statement with a finally clause, that finally clause is executed before really leaving the loop.
