break

break is used to exit from a do, for, or while loop, bypassing the normal loop condition. It is also used to exit from a switch statement.

Example

for (x = 0; x < 255; x ++){digitalWrite(PWMpin, x);sens = analogRead(sensorPin);  if (sens > threshold){      // bail out on sensor detectx = 0;break;}  delay(50);}
