What's the best way to break from nested loops in JavaScript?




What's the best way to break from nested loops in Javascript?



//Write the links to the page.
for (var x = 0; x < Args.length; x++)
{
for (var Heading in Navigation.Headings)
{
for (var Item in Navigation.Headings[Heading])
{

if (Args[x] == Navigation.Headings[Heading][Item].Name)
{
document.write(" + Navigation.Headings[Heading][Item].URL + "\">"
+ Navigation.Headings[Heading][Item].Name + "
: ");
break; // <---HERE, I need to break out of two loops.
}
}
}
}


Answer



Just like Perl,



loop1:
for (var i in set1) {
loop2:
for (var j in set2) {
loop3:
for (var k in set3) {

break loop2; // breaks out of loop3 and loop2
}
}
}


as defined in EMCA-262 section 12.12. [MDN Docs]



Unlike C, these labels can only be used for continue and break, as Javascript does not have goto.
